EUGENIE BOUCHARD looked ace on the red carpet as she relaxed ahead of competing at a WTA event in Mexico.
The 28-year-old Canadian is still easing her way back to her best after returning to action this summer after 17 months out with an injury.

The former Wimbledon finalist has fallen to 430 in the world rankings after her break from tennis to recover from a shoulder problem.
But the 5ft 11in star looked in good spirits as she showed off her long legs in a black mini-dress at a players’ party ahead of the Guadalajara Open.
She teamed the figure-hugging number with a pink clutch handbag and matching pumps.
And she was happy to pose for waiting photographers in front of sponsors’ boards at the glitzy do in the Mexican city of Zapopan.
Earlier this month Bouchard shared an online picture of herself posing in a pink bikini in front of the sea as she geared up for the Transylvania Open.
She had a wild card entry there but she had to retire during an opening round clash with Anhelina Kalinina as she eases her way back from injury.
Bouchard had planned to return to the court at this year’s Wimbledon but pulled out after the event had its ranking points revoked due to its ban on Russian and Belarussian players.
Bouchard, who is now also a successful model, suffered a shoulder injury in March 2021 and had surgery three months later.
Following her SW19 withdrawal, she tweeted: “Due to my shoulder surgery, I get a limited number of protected ranking (PR) entries.
“As much as I love Wimbledon and skipping it makes me sad, using a PR entry at a tournament with no ranking points doesn’t make sense.”
