"This morning was an absolute mess" - Genie Bouchard details stressful day as she begins pre-season training

Just a day after commencing her pre-season training, Canadian tennis star Eugenie Bouchard experienced an eventful morning on Wednesday.

The 28-year-old took to social media to describe her hilarious start to the day, stating that she accidentally locked herself out of her house. When she informed her coach Tim Blenkiron, who had a spare key to Bouchard's house, he came to her rescue, but with the wrong key. Thus, the tennis star had to take a cab to her Pilates session.

Even after so much, Bouchard arrived at her practice session only 15 minutes late, for which she was happy.

"Forgot to take a pic at Pilates because I locked myself out of my house this morning and had to take Ubers to go eat breakfast. Then Tim, who has a spare key of mine, brought the wrong key, so I had to Uber to Pilates as well. This morning was an absolute mess, lol. Anyway, made it to tennis only 15 minutes late," Bouchard wrote on her Instagram stories.

After spending 17 months on the sidelines due to a shoulder injury, Bouchard returned to action in August this year. The 2014 Wimbledon finalist could only manage 15 matches this season, out of which she won six and lost nine. The former World No. 5 has now slipped to the 329th position in the WTA singles rankings.

The last tournament she competed in was the WTA 125 Dow Tennis Classic in Midland at the end of October. On Tuesday, Bouchard informed her fans via social media that she had begun her preparations for the 2023 season in Las Vegas, Nevada.
