Recently, the 2014 Wimbledon finalist uploaded an Instagram video of having a fun tennis session. Playing in the freezing cold temperatures of Canada, Bouchard donned a red jacket and seemed to enjoy the off-court season.

The tennis star captioned the Instagram post, “fyi this is what it’s like to play tennis in Canada, in case anyone was wondering”. Having a whopping 2.1 million Instagram followers, Bouchard regularly updates her fans about her travels.

After the tour’s resumption in August, Bouchard reached the quarterfinals of the Prague Open but didn’t receive a wildcard for the US Open. Having last played at the qualifiers of the ITF USA 40A tournament, Bouchard suffered an abdominal injury and gave her opponent a walkover. Since then she has been recuperating and seems in vacation mode.

The 26-year-old recently posted a picture of herself looking stunning in a bikini while having a gala time on a picturesque beach. With the 2020 season plagued with mandatory quarantine periods and bio-secure bubbles, Bouchard was unwinding to invigorate before the start of the next season.

She will head for the 2021 Australian Open in January, which has already been postponed by three weeks. Unable to qualify for this year’s Australian Open, Bouchard’s best result at Melbourne was reaching the semifinals in 2014. Since then she has failed to go past the third round.
