Tennis star Eugenie Bouchard believes sport's 'sex appeal' played role in her popularity

Eugenie Bouchard has won nearly 300 matches in her career and came very close to winning at Wimbledon in 2014, and she recently revealed she has the sport to thank for a lot more in her life. Bouchard was wrapped up in a viral bet in 2017 when she made a deal with a fan. If the Atlanta Falcons lost the Super Bowl to the New England Patriots, they would go out on a date. They did just that. Bouchard also leveraged her tennis career into an appearance in the Sports Illustrated Swimsuit issue.

She said in a recent podcast interview that tennis helped her open up to her sex appeal. 'Tennis, first of all, is a great sport for that sex appeal side,' the Canadian-born tennis star said on 'Not Alone, a Podcast with 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.

She recently reached the quarterfinals of the ITF/USTA W75. Follow Fox News Digital’s sports coverage on X and subscribe to the Fox News Sports Huddle newsletter.
