Eugenie Bouchard suffers buttocks injury at Hopman Cup
Former world No.5 Eugenie Bouchard hopes her Australian Open campaign won't be
derailed by a buttocks injury that she picked up at the Hopman Cup on Friday.
She has looked out of sorts at the mixed-teams event, losing all three of her
singles rubbers.
And the 23-year-old suffered an untimely injury scare on Friday when she injur
ed her buttocks during the second set of her 6-4 6-4 loss to Belgium's Elise M
ertens.
"My arse hurts," Bouchard said after the match.
"I think it's maybe a little strained or a little pulled or something.
"There was a really sharp pain. I felt it going wide on my backhand and landin
g on my serve with my left leg.
"I'm going to the physio now to see what it is. I don't think it's too bad but
it was getting worse throughout the match."
Bouchard, who is due to fly out of Perth on Friday to compete at the Hobart In
ternational, was hopeful rather than confident the injury wouldn't affect her
Australian Open hopes.
"I'm hopeful but you never know," She said.
"You always get little muscle pulls here or there. But this one specifically,
no [I've never had it before]."
