Eugenie Bouchard recently had an interesting interview with the newspaper El Tiempo, recalling the breakthrough she had in 2014 when she reached a Grand Slam final, in Wimbledon, and two semi-finals, in Melbourne and Paris.

'That was definitely a great time,' she said. 'I had to make a big physical effort, playing many events to have much confidence in myself and believe that I could be a great player. The confidence is an important aspect.

When you win titles, you have a bigger desire to keep having high ambition.' Her popularity soared, but her tennis fortunes plummeted as injuries blocked her path. Now, she is attempting to rebuild her career once again.

'Being in the top 15 is very tough, expectations are high,' she recognized. 'Media, work, I fought against all this training day after day. I had injuries, ups and down. But I overcame them. Now the priority is to play tennis, which is what I love and I like to do, but I know to have several options in other things.

I am only interested in tennis and recovering my best level. Working as a model, maybe after I end my career.' ALSO READ: Here is what Rafael Nadal needs to do to retain No. 1 ranking position
