Ever since her comeback in August last year, Canadian tennis beauty, Eugenie Bouchard hasn’t been able to hit top form. She hasn’t made it to the main draw at Grand Slams since the French Open in 2020. Additionally, she has had early exits in other tour-level tournaments. While her focus has shifted back onto the tennis court following an injury-laden last season, Bouchard has been very much active off the court too.
Recently, the 29-year-old channeled her inner Barbie as she made a glamorous appearance at the 2023 ESPY Awards. The former Wimbledon finalist walked the red carpet in a Barbie-themed outfit. Her picture quickly went viral on social media and thousands of fans reacted to it. Hours before, Bouchard shared a throwback video with her sister, proving why she’s a true Barbie fan.
