In pictures: Eugenie Bouchard hits the racetrack in Florida, enjoys her weekend at the Pegasus World Cup

Former Wimbledon finalist Eugenie Bouchard recently took a small break from tennis, spending her weekend attending the Pegasus World Cup in Florida.

Bouchard has had a bit of a strange start to the 2023 season. Playing at the ASB Classic in Auckland, the Canadian withdrew from the tournament ahead of her second qualifying match, due to food poisoning.

She had won her first-round match in the qualifiers against Ann Li, 6-4, 6-3.

At the Australian Open 2023, Bouchard suffered an early exit again. The former World No. 5 crashed out at the qualifying stage, losing to Ashlyn Krueger in the first round.

But in a recent social media post, Eugenie Bouchard kept her tennis struggles aside and showcased how she had enjoyed her weekend at the racetrack in Florida. The Canadian provided her fans with glimpses of her time at the Pegasus World Cup through her Instagram post.

"Weekend at the races," Bouchard captioned the pictures.
