MONTREAL – Ginny Bouchard, who reached the Wimbledon Finals and two other Grand Slam semi-finals in 2014, has retired from tennis.<\/p>\n

The Canadian will end her career before playing at Montreal’s National Bank Open later this month, Tennis Canada said Wednesday.<\/p>\n

The organization said 31-year-old Bouchard will be given a wild card to the tournament in his hometown.<\/p>\n

“We’ll know when the time comes,” Bouchard posts on social media, playing photos of herself. “For me, it’s now. Let’s finish where it all began: Montreal.”<\/p>\n

Bouchard reached number five in the WTA rankings and won her only single title in 2014. She lost to Petra Kvitova in the Wimbledon final and reached the semi-finals that year at the Australian Open and French Open.<\/p>\n

She returned to the Australian quarterfinals in 2015, but her career was never the same after she suffered a concussion that was forced to slip on the floor of the US Open wet locker room later that year and retreated before a four-round match. She sued the American Tennis Association and the ju-degree found that the organization was 75% negligence and she was 25% liable.<\/p>\n

Bouchard helped Canada win the only Billy Junking Cup title in 2023, but mostly switched to pickleball and played only one tennis match on the tour this season. She has a career single record of 299-230.<\/p>\n

“She was one of the most important figures in the history of Canadian sports and a pioneer in redefineing what Canada’s tennis is,” said Valerie Tetlan, director of open tournaments at the National Bank. “We are proud of everything she has done as a player and role model. We can’t wait for her to start the action this summer at IGA Stadium.”<\/p>\n<\/div>\n
