After another discouraging first-round loss at the Aegon Classic in Birmingham, Canada’s Eugenie Bouchard admitted that frustration is starting to mount after a run of ten losses in her last eleven matches since Indian Wells.

Bouchard fell to Kristina Mladenovic to drop to 0-2 on grass this season. Last year’s Wimbledon runner-up plans to head to Eastbourne to take another run at finding her form before Wimbledon begins in ten days.

“I mean, you just have to keep going, right?” she said. “Every time you fail you have to pick yourself up and keep going. That's what I've been doing in the past couple months, but it's still been happening. So I still need to keep going and have the belief that it'll turn around.”

Bouchard told reporters she didn’t know why she was bageled in the third set against Mladenovic. All she could tell them was that she was frustrated. She was asked by a reporter what adjective she would use to describe her feelings, and replied with the following:

“Every negative adjective you could think of, I would use that,” she said. “Just very, very frustrated.”

Rather than draw on her success at Wimbledon last year, Bouchard told the press that she’s more inclined to try to forget about it.

“Hasn't helped me so far,” she said, “So I don't know. I think forgetting about it is the best thing I can do."
