Eugenie Bouchard is looking forward to swapping clay for grass at the Topshelf Open in Netherlands, as she attempts to get her year back on track.

After being eliminated in the first round of the French Open, Bouchard's 2015 win-loss record on clay went to 1-4, but the 2014 Wimbledon finalist hopes the switch to grass will be good for her.

The French Open was the fifth tournament this year where Bouchard exited at the first hurdle as she lost 6-4 6-4 to Kristina Mladenovic.

Bouchard will be the top seed at the Topshelf Open in Den Bosch, which starts on Monday, while the 21-year-old will follow the WTA International event with the Aegon Classic in Birmingham, which begins on June 15.

"I love playing on grass and I've played some of my best tennis on this surface," the Canadian said when it was announced she would play in Birmingham.

Bouchard has had a rough year with just seven wins on the WTA Tour, and only three of them have come since she reached the quarter-finals of the Australian Open.

Kazakhstan's Yaroslava Shvedova will be Bouchard's first-round opponent at the Topshelf Open.

Reigning champion and third seed Coco Vandeweghe, who defeated China's Zheng Jie 6-2 6-4 in last year's final, will also start the tournament after a first-round exit at Roland Garros.

Julia Gorges trumped Vandeweghe 6-2 5-7 6-1 at the French Open and the latter will look to bounce back against Andreea Mitu.

Another player looking to find some form in Den Bosch will be Dutchwoman Michaella Krajicek, who won the tournament in 2006 but needed a wildcard to be involved this year.

Krajicek has a deep association with the event having also been proposed to on the courts in Den Bosch last year.

German doubles player Martin Emmrich proposed on centre court after Krajicek defeated Jana Cepelova at the 2014 Topshelf Open.

With the Topshelf Open starting just a couple of days after the French Open women's final, the field is almost exclusively made up of players who either did not play at Roland Garros or failed to progress very far in Paris.

Other players looking for a boost as they look towards Wimbledon are former US Open finalist Jelena Jankovic and fourth seed Belinda Bencic, who reached the third round at Great Britain's major in 2014.
