Despite hanging up her tennis<\/a> racket, Eugenie Bouchard continues to captivate her multitude of fans. The Canadian beauty, often referred to as the ‘world’s sexiest tennis star’, bid farewell to the sport last year<\/a> at the National Bank Open in Montreal.<\/p>\n Although she didn’t quite reach the heights initially expected, the 31-year-old, who has taken up the growing sport of pickleball in recent, had a commendable career, reaching the Wimbledon<\/a> final in 2014 and the semi-finals of both the Australian Open<\/a> and French Open<\/a> that same year. Bouchard has also gained notoriety off the court with her provocative social media posts. In 2024, she inked a deal with IMG Models “to expand her presence in the fashion industry.”<\/p>\n Her Instagram<\/a> account is particularly popular, and she recently delighted her 2.3million followers with a throwback reel featuring stunning photos<\/a> from 10 years ago. The collection included her Sports Illustrated cover shoot, various bikini and thong shots, and selfies with then-Canadian prime minister Justin Trudeau<\/a> and music icon Celine Dion.<\/a><\/p>\n Captioning the post, Bouchard wrote: “2016: lots of bikinis, selfies, and one very bad decision (swipe to end).” The “bad decision” she refers to is a regrettable haircut.<\/p>\n While her bold social media antics have occasionally ruffled feathers among tennis traditionalists, Bouchard remains unapologetic about promoting herself to a broader audience.<\/p>\n Bouchard’s “very bad decision” (Image: geniebouchard\/Instagram)<\/p>\n Bouchard’s social media snaps leave little to the imagination (Image: geniebouchard\/Instagram)<\/p>\n Speaking to podcaster Valeria Lipovetsky,<\/a> she said: “Tennis first of all is a great sport for that sex appeal side. I mean we’re wearing short skirts, we’re wearing tank tops. It’s fun to turn on the TV and watch that.”<\/p>\n “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. Exploring that path was definitely on my to-do list, it’s definitely part of who I am because I think it’s great.”<\/p>\n “Why keep myself in a box? Why not try to become bigger, or better, or transcend tennis, or explore other fields? Tennis is the only thing I know, but it can’t be the only thing I’ll ever do in my life.”<\/p>\n Bouchard isn’t afraid to show off her bikini body (Image: geniebouchard\/Instagram)<\/p>\n “So I found it very interesting to be in magazines or do fashion stuff and see that I really enjoyed these things as well.”<\/p>\n Following her emotional retirement in her hometown, she now has additional time to concentrate on her modelling, social media endeavours and pickleball, a racket sport which sees players use a smooth-faced paddle to hit a perforated, hollow plastic ball over a 34-inch-high net.<\/p>\n Follow her last tennis match, she said: “I’ve always had a feeling I would end my career here. Montreal is where I was born and raised, so it just feels right.<\/p>\n “An emotional moment. I think I just wanted a moment like this because my career deserved a moment like this. I really think I got it tonight, and I’m so grateful for that.”<\/p>\n Stay up-to-date with the latest Tennis news Join us on WhatsApp<\/a><\/p>\n Our community members are treated to special offers, promotions, and adverts from us and our partners.
