It’s gone from bad to really bad for Eugenie Bouchard.

The Canadian women’s tennis player, ranked as high as fifth in the world a few years ago, is free falling on and off the court.

The New York Times reports that the 24-year-old’s latest agent quit two weeks ago, just months after multiple sponsors opted not to renew their agreements with Bouchard.

The agent, John Tobias, told the Times that he “didn’t agree with the way some things were being done, and felt it best if she found someone else.”

Bouchard — who has been through four agencies since her breakthrough season in 2014 — addressed the matter last week after losing to qualifier Sachia Vickery (6-3, 6-4) in the opening round of the BNP Paribas Open in California.

“I don’t have anyone in place right now,” she said, when asked about Tobias’ departure. “A lot has been going on and it’s, like, the seventh thing on my mind right now. But after this tournament I’ll regroup, spend some time with my team and try to figure something out.”
