“We were supposed to go to dinner after but I was hoping, I was like, ‘I really don’t want to go to dinner anymore because this is awful’ and he was like, ‘Yeah, what if we skip dinner?’ I was like, ‘That’s great, can you just drop me off at home, goodbye’,” she added.

Amid the coronavirus pandemic, Bouchard raised funds for the ones who are in need. She offered a ‘fun tennis experience’ with her to the highest bidder and by doing so she managed to raise US $85,000.
