Bouchard: Mental game reason for defeat at French

Friday, May 27 2016 by SNTV
  • Reaction from Eugenie Bouchard after her third round defeat at the French Open on Thursday (26th May), to Timea Bacsinszky.

    SOUNDBITE (English) Eugenie Bouchard, lost to Timea Bacsinszky 6-4, 6-4:
    (Q. Did you just feel overwhelmed or just down on yourself? What was going through your mind?)

    "It's unacceptable really to lose ten games in a row in a match. I think that my focus a little bit was the part that let me down, the mental part. Something I've been working on. I had been getting better, so it's not always going to be good. But, yeah, I mean, I wish I would've done better."

    SOUNDBITE (English) Eugenie Bouchard, lost to Timea Bacsinszky 6-4, 6-4:
    (Q. You had the two points for 5-all and I think you made errors on both of them. Was it just too steep a hill to climb?)

    "Yeah, definitely disappointed in that game. I think after 15-40 I made four unforced errors or something. You know, at least I put myself in that position. Again, disappointing to not follow through once I was in that position. Again, got a little bit ahead of myself. Against a top 10 player, they'll never let you get away with that."

    SOUNDBITE (English) Eugenie Bouchard, lost to Timea Bacsinszky 6-4, 6-4:
    (Q. What are your plans for the next couple weeks? )

    "After I get over the disappointment it'll be time to get excited for grass. I'm scheduled to play every week of the grass season, so I'm looking forward to that. Yeah, just keep going, keep grinding."
