60 Second Interview with @GenieBouchard at @FamilyCircleCup #FCC2015
Steve Fogleman, Tennis Atlantic
I got a little nervous on Saturday when Genie Bouchard pulled up in practice and gingerly walked off the court with some sort of apparent pain in her right leg. Her camp seemed pretty concerned about it at the time, but there was no sign of trouble when we caught up with Genie on Monday at media hour at the Family Circle Cup in Charleston, South Carolina.
On the change of agent and coach
I think you almost have to expect sometimes that things won’t get worse, but maybe you’ll have a bit of a down before you have an up, especially with a coaching change. I think maybe that’s what happened a little bit. Change is hard. You have to adapt and get used to new things. You kind of get thrown out of your routine and maybe you’re put more into an uncomfortable position. But that’s what I wanted. I wanted something new to take me to a different level. I’m very happy that I made it, I’m liking the changes I did.Now I just need to keep going with it and everything will get better
On the practice situation
“It was more of a scare than anything else. As an athlete, you always freak out if something happens, especially a traumatic event on the court when you fall a little bit. But I’m fine for now.”
