5 Canadian player said: "Yeah, it's the first time I really experienced the gaming world. And, you know, I heard the winner of Fortnite recently made $3 million, so I might pick up video games. (Smiling.) I mean, that's crazy, that's impressive, and it's a whole world I never knew.
In terms of crosswords, I mean, I don't really want to talk about how much of a dork I am, okay? Let's move on. (Smiling.)" Bouchard also spoke about tennis and her desire to keep competing despite being outside the top 100 rankings: "I feel like I've matured and just I've put things in perspective a lot more.
So, you know, playing tennis for a living is the most unbelievable thing, and I feel so blessed and lucky in my life. So losing a match is really nothing in the grand scheme of things. And I just really am enjoying it a lot more now, and on the court, I'm staying more positive, and I'm fighting, and, you know, that's all I can do.
So whatever happens, happens. And I have to trust the process, as Joel says." Analyzing her loss, Bouchard concluded: "I think it was a solid match from me and the best I've played since I've come back from injury. You know, she's 20 in the world.
She's a great player. So to battle with her till 6-4 in the third gives me confidence and just motivates me to work even harder."
