The new season has certainly brought some new exciting things for different players. Some are adopting new styles, some are hiring new staff, and some are engaging in new activities. However, former World No.5 Eugenie Bouchard is special and unique. She recently played her first match of 2021 and shocked fans with a change.
It appears as if Bouchard has signed a new sponsorship deal. While playing at the Australian Open 2021 qualifiers, one could see the Canadian wearing the ‘New Balance’ (NB) kit. It was astonishing, as it was the first time fans saw her wearing the NB outwear.

Before this, the tennis beauty was working in association with Nike. Her prime sponsor was Nike and fans had associated her with that brand only.
Bouchard will definitely hope that the new sponsor will bring good luck to her. She desperately needs it after having quite a poor season in 2020. Will fans see an altogether new and improved Bouchard in New Balance?
