With her long blonde hair, perfectly sculpted abs and golden Californian glow, tennis beauty Eugenie Bouchard has become one to watch both on and off the tennis court.
A Wimbledon finalist with poster-girl looks, the tennis ace, 24, who was born in Quebec, has already amassed over $8.9 million in winnings and an impressive celebrity following including Drake and fellow Canadian Justin Bieber, The Sun reports.
Splashing her cash on watches worth $35,000 and a Louis Vuitton shopper worth $1800, Bouchard now has a cult following of nearly two million Instagram followers, who pore over her sporting prowess and the envy-inducing lifestyle that comes with it.
She’s also known for her witty sense of humour, which has seen her mocking Kim Kardashian’s naked selfies and dressing up as Kanye West.
Bouchard’s first major breakthrough came when she won the junior title at Wimbledon in 2012. As a 24-year-old in 2015, she smashed Serena Williams on court in Perth and celebrated with a simple fist-pump and a joke that the best female tennis player in the game probably just “needed another coffee”.
Quickly swept up for million-dollar endorsement deals with mega brands Coca Cola and Nike, Eugenie, or “Genie” as her friends and fans — named the Genie Army — call her, the Bahamas-based bombshell now spends her time off the court on a series of lavish getaways.
‘BELFIES’ AND WATCHING TV FROM A HOT TUB
Gracing the cover of Sports Illustrated twice, Bouchard is one of the most beautiful sports stars in the world.
With her army of fans following her every move on social media, Bouchard can usually be found sharing belfies — “butt selfies” made famous by Kim Kardashian — and bikini shots from her lavish trips around the globe or munching on her beloved McDonald’s burgers and doughnuts.
Her gruelling fitness regime consists of four hours of tennis practice and two hours in the gym almost every day.
Speaking with Self magazine, the work-hard, play-hard star said she eats up to five bananas a day and fills up on protein, like eggs, in the morning and makes sure she’s always on top form by snacking on energy bars and gels throughout the day, too.
On a recent trip to Morocco, the fitness fanatic shared the result of her hard work in the gym, posing in a hot pink bikini by a private pool she shared with friends.
In another snap, which gained over 200,000 likes, Bouchard showed off her backside in a thonged swimming costume while relaxing in a jacuzzi with its own wide-screen television.
