Video: Bouchard returns to the court for the first time since surgery

Eugenie Bouchard was spotted back on the courts for the first time since having shoulder surgery in June.

The Canadian underwent arthroscopic surgery on her shoulder after first tearing her subscapularis during a match in Guadalajara in March. The 2014 Wimbledon runner-up had said she tried to rehab the injury before surgery but elected for the procedure when it did not improve.
