The French Open was a special experience. Genie was still a newcomer on clay and that isn’t a very good thing on your resume considering that it can be a difficult surface. However, she had made a habit of defying expectations by then. She reached the semi-finals of the tournament and looked well on her way to her first grand slam.

Sadly for her, she faced her childhood idol who would later become her bitter rival – Maria Sharapova. The Russian sensation used her experience to get the better of Bouchard in a hard-fought match. However, beyond all the on-court action, Bouchard had some fun in France. Journalists were looking to get the most out of the emerging star. One such interview given under the program The Road To Roland Garros discussed her singing.
