Retired tennis star Eugenie Bouchard has opened up on the chaos that consumed her life - and prompted a 'rebellious phase' - after bursting onto the scene when she made the 2014 Wimbledon final at the tender age of 20. But the high watermark of Bouchard's career came at the beginning of her travails on the WTA Tour, when she played her Wimbledon final against Petra Kvitova in only her second run-out in SW19. Bouchard ultimately lost out to the Czech star but was catapulted into a new realm of fame in the wake of her breakout run. 'After that final, my life became chaotic: media attention, sponsors, changes on every level,' she told the Tennis Insider Club. It was way worse than I intended, but it caused me not to get my Rolex deal renewed.'
