In her first competitive outing since withdrawing from the US Open, Bouchard lasted little over a set, saluting the crowd before leaving the court in tears following a lengthy consultation with the trainer.
"I thought I was physically ready but unfortunately the symptoms of my concussion came back," Bouchard said in a statement after the match. "I want to thank all my fans at the China Open for their support.
I hope to get well soon and look forward to returning next year." Bouchard, who was trailing 6-2, 1-1 at the time, last struck a ball in anger during a pulsating third round win over Dominika Cibulkova in New York at the start of September. However, her joy was short lived, a bizarre changing room accident bringing her revival to an abrupt halt.
