Eugenie Bouchard relaxing as she gears up for the Transylvania Open

Bouchard, 28, returned to action this summer after 17 months out with a shoulder injury.

As she battles her way back up the rankings, she still enjoys hanging out on the beach between matches.

As autumn descends - Bouchard shared a picture of herself posing in a pink bikini in front of the sea - thanking her pals for such a great few months.

She wrote: "Had the most amazing summer. Appreciate everyone who was a part of it."

Bouchard had planned to return to the court at Wimbledon, only to pull out after the event had its ranking points revoked.

She eventually returned to the Odlum Brown VanOpen in her native Canada - only for a mix-up upon arrival.

Eugenie Bouchard initially received accreditation featuring a picture of her in a bikini - rather than her actual WTA headshot.

After having the gaffe sorted she went on to lose in round one - but she has since managed to find some form.

The former Wimbledon finalist battled to the Chennai Open quarter-finals last month, before coming through qualifying in Ostrava this week.
