No room for sentiment in growing ‘Brand Bouchard’

Eugenie Bouchard stands on the brink of Wimbledon glory but her "boring" lifestyle includes no time for cultivating friendships on tour and no time for Laura Robson either.

Canada’s 20-year-old finalist confirmed yesterday that the days of she and Robson being “besties” — the British player’s words — are over, and presented her tennis ambitions with the clinical precision of a determined businesswoman.

Bouchard might at times appear to be having fun at Wimbledon, but the realityis that she is working.
