Entry elimination for Joanne Zueger (WTA 167) at the Chennai tournament. The Bâloise lost in the 1st round once morest the Canadian Eugenie Bouchard (902) 7-6 6-2.
Facing the 2014 Wimbledon runner-up and former No. 5 player in the world, Züger tied the game in the first set, but unfortunately failed to make the break. Leading 40-30 to 6-5 on her serve, the Swiss missed a set point.
Bouchard’s return
More comfortable on clay, the Baloise is not really used to hard courts. But we would have thought that once morest a player returning from injury, she would have a chance.
Bouchard shows up in the Indian metropolis with a wild card. The 28-year-old, who is currently down to 902nd in the standings, only recently returned to the tour following a long break and surgery on her right shoulder.
