Genie Bouchard is back to play again after a long break of 17 months for shoulder surgery. Since her return to the Tour in mid-August, she has played five main tournaments on the main draw, collecting 5 wins and 5 losses, a considerable amount considering the long stop.
About Roger Federer, Genie said: “I have always loved Roger Federer. His class and elegance were truly unique. There will never be anyone like him. If there are boys or girls who are inspired by me, it is a real honor. I remember as a child I used to watch my idols on TV and wanted their autographs.
Being that person for someone else is an honor. I really appreciate people’s support. I hope I can inspire people both on and off the court.”
