Join the excitement as Wozniacki battles Bouchard in Dallas display

With her return to the Tour, Caroline Wozniacki is also gearing up for exhibition matches, and a confirmed showdown against Eugenie Bouchard is set as a prelude to the ATP 250 Dallas Open. The men's tournament will take place between February 5-11, featuring a "Women's Tennis Classic" night on February 3 for an initial match on the Center Court.

The exhibition date falls one week after the conclusion of the Australian Open and one week before the WTA 1000 Qatar Open. While Wozniacki's participation in the first Grand Slam of the year is confirmed, there is still uncertainty about the rest of her schedule for the year.

In their head-to-head encounters, Bouchard and Wozniacki have only faced each other twice in official matches. The first meeting took place in the semifinals of the 2014 Wuhan Open, where Bouchard (6th seed) easily defeated Wozniacki (8th seed) with a score of 6-2, 6-3. The Danish player took revenge in a subsequent match in the first round of the 2017 Hong Kong Open, securing a convincing 6-1, 6-1 victory to even the series in their latest official clash.

Eugenie Bouchard made one of the most explosive appearances on the WTA Tour in the last decade. At the age of 19 in 2014, she consecutively reached the semifinals of the Australian Open and French Open, followed by making it to the Wimbledon final (where she was defeated by Petra Kvitova). Despite reaching a career-high ranking of world No. 5, Bouchard couldn't replicate those early successes in the subsequent seasons.

In contrast, Caroline Wozniacki solidified herself as one of the most consistent players of the past decades. The 2018 Australian Open champion and former world No. 1, Wozniacki secured 30 trophies and reached 31 finals before her retirement in 2020. Unexpectedly returning to the court at the end of the 2023 season after two pregnancies and three and a half years away, she made a notable appearance at the US Open, reaching the fourth round before falling to the eventual champion, Coco Gauff.
