A few weeks back Eugenie Bouchard made her pickleball debut at the Hyundai Masters in Rancho Mirage, California. She had last appeared on tour in September last year. Although she had denied any possibilities of her retirement, Bouchard was seen enjoying her time with this new ‘recreational’ option.

A few days back she also spoke to PPA Tour, where she said, “I’m excited to challenge myself in a new world, try something new and see what the PPA Tour is all about. I have zero expectations at this point, I want to get my bearings. I want to just not embarrass myself, maybe that’s a good goal. And, just get the hang of things on the court and off. I want to have fun, try my best, and just not be too hard on myself.”
