Months ago in New York City when the heat rose to a sweltering 30 C, Eugenie Bouchard called for a medical timeout in her 4th round US Open match against Ekaterina Makarova. Despite looking distressed as the medical staff took her blood pressure and rubbed ice bags on her legs, the tenacious Canadian went on to play but lost in straight sets. In her post-match interview, Bouchard emphasized that she would never retire from matches. But it wasn't the case at the Aegon International Eastbourne when the 21-year-old decided to pull out of her match against Belinda Bencic due to abdominal pain.
