After beating Laura Siegemund in the first round at Roland Garros on Tuesday (24th May), Eugenie Bouchard opened up about a stress-related eating disorder which affected her in 2015.

SOUNDBITE: (English) Eugenie Bouchard (on stress-related eating issues):

"Yeah, it's definitely a struggle I had in 2015. I felt a lot of pressure and kind of this expectation if you win a match it's normal and if you lose it's a disaster. Before matches I was very nervous and definitely had trouble eating. I just felt like it would come right back up. It's is difficulty I went through. And not just before matches, but happened to me at other meals as well. So people think I was concerned about my body image and things like that and I was losing weight on purpose. That was really not the case. I was just so stressed I was burning calories even more than I normally would, so it was hard to kind of intake enough to keep my weight up or even gain weight, which was the goal, to become stronger. So, yeah, something I went through. I feel like I learned from it. I know now that even if I feel sick I have to force food down my throat. Yeah, I feel like I've come out stronger and able to deal with a problem if it ever comes back to me again."
