Eugenie Bouchard recalls her lifetime trip with Bjorn Borg
Eugenie Bouchard recalled her great trip to the Necker Island during the Necker Cup in late-November, in 2018. The Canadian player, who spoke to Radio Breakfast from Auckland, said: 'That trip is a trip of a lifetime. Every vacation, after being on Necker is a downgrade, if you know what I mean. You are on a private island, it can’t be more luxurious, it can’t be more exclusive.'
The 11-time Major winner Bjorn Borg and businessman Richard Branson were also a part of the exhibition: 'Richard is amazing, what he does for tennis is awesome, I’m so happy that he loves the sport that I have dedicated my life too,' Bouchard added. 'I met some amazing people there, like Bjorn Borg, [and] Tommy Haas. It was so much fun just to hang out with some legends like that and play tennis and have fun.'
Bouchard also analyzed her straight-set win over Madison Brengle: 'I think it was OK, I was very nervous. It was the first match of the year, so you never know what expect from your level, so I'm happy I managed to handle my nerves. I liked that when things didn't go so well I managed to turn it around relatively quickly, maybe a game or two went by, but then that was it and I managed to get back to playing my game. Sometimes it was tricky with the wind and I felt like I didn't move my feet enough, so I was able to catch these bad habits and try to change them.'
