Canadian tennis star Eugenie Bouchard is slowly making her comeback on the WTA tour, as she is currently playing at the Chennai Open in India. While playing at the Chennai Open, the 28-year-old tennis player had a fun time, as she wore some traditional Indian attire, i.e. Saree.

While wearing Indian attire, she had a hilarious conversation with a former tennis player and renowned Tennis Tv host, Prakash Amritraj. During her conversation, she tried to do a model walk like Gisele Bundchen, a Brazilian model, and Tom Brady’s wife.

In that conversation, Amritraj told Bouchard how to walk wearing a Saree. In reply, Bouchard said, “So, you want the hips to sway (laughs).“
Then, she tried to walk like a model and said, “I thought the model walk was like Gisele Bundchen. You cross and go like that.“
Notably, Bundchen, the Brazilian fashion model, married Tom Brady back in 2009, who is arguably the greatest quarterback to play in the NFL.
Bouchard is making a great comeback on the WTA tour
After undergoing shoulder surgery last year, Bouchard had to go through an intense rehab. However, her comeback got delayed quite a few times, as she was initially aiming for the French Open. Then, she withdrew from the Wimbledon Championships, as it offered no ranking points this year.

In Vancouver this year, she made her official return on the tour after almost 1.5 years. Unfortunately, she lost in her return match and she failed to qualify for the US Open as well. However, she is finally showing progress in the Chennai Open, where she reached the quarter-final.
Notably, this was only her third tournament since returning to the tour, and she has already shown great improvement. In the round of 16, she beat the Indian player, Karman Kaur Thandi, in straight sets. Moreover, she has yet to lose a set in this tournament. In the quarter-final, she will either face Nadia Podoroska or Tatjana Maria.
