Eugenie Bouchard falls in 1st round at Luxembourg Open
Canadian loses in straight sets to Swede Johanna Larsson
Eugenie Bouchard has lost another first-round match, this time at the Luxembourg Open.
The Westmount, Que., native started strong with a 6-2 first-set victory over Swede Johanna Larsson, but Larsson rebounded fast, taking the final two sets 6-2, 6-3.
Bouchard, ranked No. 80 in the world, fired in six aces but was shaky on her serve, converting on just 51 per cent of her first serve opportunities, and only winning 38 per cent of her second-serve rallies.
Meanwhile, Larson, No. 79, broke Bouchard on over half her chances, including the final set of the match.
