Bouchard, 31, had last played a professional tennis match in May 2024 and last featured at a Grand Slam event in the US Open qualifiers in August 2023.

But the former Wimbledon finalist was seen back on a tennis court with a racquet in hand.

Taking to Instagram, she shared a video of herself warming up on the grass and hitting some shots over the net.

Text over the video said she was warming up to play in the Hall of Fame Open.

The grass court tournament takes place in Rhode Island, USA, with women’s tennis making a return to the venue for the first time since 1990.

The 2025 edition will have the highest purse at the WTA 125 level, with $200,000 available for competitors.

It started on July 7 and will run through to July 13.

Unranked Bouchard received a wildcard for the main draw.
