Eugenie Bouchard returns to tennis, sparks debate on bold photos

Eugenie Bouchard is a tennis player some consider the most beautiful. Although she mainly focuses on another discipline now, she recently appeared on the tennis courts again. The Canadian posts bold photos online and has now decided to explain why.

This season, Eugenie Bouchard decided to return to competitive tennis. The player, who has not achieved great success in her career but has ranked as high as 5th in the world WTA ranking, had remained inactive since November 2022, when she competed in the Billie Jean King Cup.

In May of this year, the Canadian decided to participate in an ITF W75 tournament in Florida, specifically in Zephyrhills. There, she won two matches but retired before the start of the third set of the quarterfinals. In the doubles competition, she won only one match.

Canadians mainly compete in pickleball, which combines tennis, ping pong, and badminton. Despite this, she has not decided to abandon the sport that made her famous.

Bouchard, who reportedly recently separated from the son of famous supermodel Christie Brinkley, often publishes bold photos online. She has now decided to explain why she does this.

- Tennis, first of all, is a great sport for that sex appeal side We’re wearing short skirts, we’re wearing tank tops. It’s fun to turn on the TV and watch that. Right away I was able to get great marketing deals off the court. Being asked to be in the Sports Illustrated Swimsuit Edition a few times - she confessed on the Not Alone podcast.

- It’s just increasing my fan base, my audience, which in turn helps me get better brand deals, better endorsements - she added.

Currently, the Canadian's official Instagram profile is followed by over 2.3 million people. In tennis, gathering such a large number of followers is rare.
