True? False?
Abanda is currently ranked 128
Bouchard is currently ranked 133 but was ranked as high as 5 at one point. |
Maybe. Its hard to say without Abanda having that big run. Even though she is the highest ranked Canadian currently she hasn't had a break out tourney yet.
Not to mention Bouchard going the instagram/modeling way instead of focusing on practicing helped raise her profile - but tanked her tennis game.
