Biography Eugenie "Genie " Bouchard (born February 25, 1994 in Montréal, Québec, Canada) is a Canadian professional tennis player. At the 2014 Wimbledon Championships, Bouchard became the first Canadian-born player representing Canada to reach the final of a Grand Slam tournament in singles, finishing runner-up to Petra Kvitová. She also reached the semifinals of the 2014 Australian Open and 2014 French Open, and won the 2012 Wimbledon girls' title. As a junior, she also captured the 2011 and 2012 Wimbledon girls' titles in doubles. Following the end of the 2013 WTA Tour, she was named WTA Newcomer of the Year. The next year, she received the WTA Most Improved Player award for the 2014 season and reached a career-high ranking of No. 5, becoming the first Canadian female tennis player to be ranked in the top 5 in singles.
Eugenie Bouchard was born to Michel Bouchard, an investment banker, and Julie Leclair in Montréal. She has a fraternal twin sister, Beatrice, who is six minutes older. She also has two younger siblings, sister Charlotte (born 1995) and brother William (born 1999). She and her twin sister are named after Prince Andrew's daughters, Princess Beatrice of York and Princess Eugenie of York. Her sister Charlotte is named after Charlotte Casiraghi, the daughter of Monégasque Princess Caroline and her then husband Stefano Casiraghi, and William is named after Prince William, Duke of Cambridge.
Bouchard started playing tennis at the age of five and was a member of Tennis Canada's National Training Centre in Montréal. She attended The Study school in Westmount. At age 12, she moved to Florida with her mother to be coached by Nick Saviano, where she met one of her best childhood friends, tennis player Laura Robson. At 15, Bouchard returned to Montréal for training.

Notes
1 The first Premier 5 event of the year has switched back and forth between the Dubai Tennis Championships and the Qatar Ladies Open since 2009. Dubai was classified as a Premier 5 event from 2009–2011 before being succeeded by Doha for the 2012–2014 period. Since 2015, the two tournaments alternate between Premier 5 and Premier status every year.2 In 2014, the Pan Pacific Open was downgraded to a Premier event and replaced by the Wuhan Open.Doubles performance timeline This table is current through the 2018 Wimbledon Championships.
