I have nothing but respect for her," says Bouchard about Venus Williams

Paired with Clervie Ngounoue, Eugenie Bouchard lost to Venus Williams and Hailey Baptiste in doubles at Washington.

This was most likely the last time the Canadian crossed paths with Venus, as she is set to retire after the WTA 1000 tournament in Montreal.

Quoted by *The Tennis Gazette*, she said: "Playing against her for the last time is amazing and special. I just told her: ‘I respect the fact that you’re still here.’

She’s 14 years older than me, but she’s still playing. I have nothing but respect for her. She’s a legend.
