Genie Bouchard turns heads in a green bikini while doing ‘yard work’
Eugenie “Genie” Bouchard is showing off her green thumb — and matching two-piece.
The Canadian tennis pro shared a handful of outdoor snaps on Instagram over the weekend as she tended to her yard in a green bikini.
Captioning the post, “Sundays are for yard work,” the 30-year-old Bouchard is seen raking leaves and watering the grass in Miami.
“My favorite post EVER,” one fan wrote alongside a pair of fire emojis.
Tennis player-turned-pickleball pro Sam Querrey also quipped in the comments, “I was actually thinking of doing a similar photo montage later this week.”
Bouchard’s post comes on the heels of a recent podcast appearance, where she explained how tennis’ “sex appeal” contributed to her growing fame.
“Tennis, first of all, is a great sport for that sex appeal side,” Bouchard said in a June interview with YouTuber Valeria Lipovetsky. “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.
“Exploring that path was definitely on my to-do list. It’s definitely part of who I am because I think it’s great.”
A former world No. 5, Bouchard reached the Wimbledon final in 2014 and lost to Petra Kvitova.
She endured injuries over the years and spent time working her way back from a 2021 shoulder surgery.
Bouchard — who competed at the Guadalajara Open in 2023 and lost to Veronika Kudermetova in the Round of 32 — has continued to grow an immense following on social media, where she frequently posts about her travels and training.
“Why keep myself in a box? Why not try to become bigger, or better, or transcend tennis, or explore other fields?” she said. “Tennis is the only thing I know, but it can’t be the only thing I’ll ever do in my life. So I found it very interesting to be in the magazines or do fashion stuff and see that I really enjoyed these things as well.”
