Bouchard: too many errors
Genie was definitely upset by her performance to comment “She was consistent, but aggressive when she had to be,” Bouchard said. “I tried to play my game and stay aggressive, but I kind of made a few too many errors. I missed a few important chances out there.
But it’s all part of the process. Getting matches in on the red clay is a really good thing for me, so it’s been a good week for me. The more matches I play the better so I’m looking forward to more.”
