Eugenie Bouchard is back to playing tennis, and she's back to winning, making a good start in the 2023 US Open qualifiers.
Bouchard didn't get a wild card, nor does she have the ranking to enter the main draw directly, which means qualifiers. She started her campaign to get into the main draw today with a win. It's a far better start than her qualifying campaign at Wimbledon, which ended in the first round .
The opponent was not a very strong one as she took on player ranked outside of the Top 500 in Katherine Hui, so the good start isn't surprising, but Bouchard still had to go out there and play a match. She played it very well, taking a little over an hour to get it done. The opening set actually saw her face break points first.
She didn't lose her serve, but even if she did, there was plenty...

The 2023 Roland Garros will go by without Rafael Nadal but also there will be no Wta player from the United King will be in the main draw either.
The United Kingdom of Great Britain and Northern Ireland is a country that is quite famous for its tennis tradition. After all, Wimbledon is based there and it's arguably the most famous and biggest tennis event in the world.
Even so, the country is not particularly known for its clay prowess when it comes to its tennis players. It was proven this year as this year Roland Garros will be the first one since 2009 not to feature a single woman in the main draw of the event. The men's side looks a bit more promising but it's still a negative trend that could have been avoided.
Some will find a way to blame Emma Raducanu for undergoing triple surgery at the wrong...

Emma Raducanu didn't manage to win the Lta's Player of the Year award for the second consecutive year.
Last year, the British sensation collected one award after another. Raducanu was named the Lta's Player of the Year but she also received the 2022 Laureus World Breakthrough of the Year Award. This year, she was nominated for the Lta's Player of the Year once again, but despite ending the year as the highest-ranked British woman, she didn't win.
Harriet Dart, Heather Watson, Katie Boulter, and Katie Swan were nominated for the Lta's Player of the Year in women's singles alongside the 2021 US Open champion.
And it was the British no. 2 Dart who won the award. It comes after she helped her country to reach the first semifinals of the Billie Jean King Cup since 1981 and also reached the quarterfinals in Nottingham and Eastbourne, and reached the fourth round in Indian Wells. After winning the award,...
