Eugenie Bouchard has a clear idea of how she wants to play tennis moving forward and it's the same way Elena Rybakina and Aryna Sabalenka play tennis.
We've seen quite a bit of big hitters being successful in tennis lately and though it's nothing new, it seems like aggressive play is certainly rewarding nowadays. Bouchard has the ability to play that way too and she certainly plans to play that way moving forward. Speaking to Portuguese media after touching down in Oeiras, Bouchard said:
"We see a lot of big hitters that are winning all the tournaments. We have Elena Rybakina and (Aryna) Sabalenka just like in the finals of almost every tournament. It's interesting to see that the game style is kind of still the one that's dominating at the ultimate end, and for me I like that because I have an aggressive game style and that's more how I want to play and it's motivating to see that."
It's not the only way to play tennis or be successful as players like Jabeur prove which makes Bouchard happy. It's a good time for women's tennis right now with all the variety:
"I think it's open. There is depth, but it's open too. You know, there's a bit of both kind of anything that can happen, but there are some really solid players, so it is interesting."
