After a Sad Fallout With NFL Quarterback, Eugenie Bouchard Reveals a Strict Relationship Rule – ‘Wouldn’t Want to Date Someone In…’

Canadian tennis star Eugenie Bouchard has been recovering from her injury. She was out of action for the past two years and has been taking her time to regain match fitness. Meanwhile, the Canadian recently appeared in a podcast. Here, the tennis star made her dating preferences clear.

Back in 2014, the 28-year-old made the headlines when she became the first Canadian WTA player to make it to the final of a Grand Slam tournament. However, she has not been able to replicate her performance after that.

Eugenie Bouchard won’t date someone from the tennis world

While discussing various things about her life and career, the host asked Bouchard if she will prefer someone athletic for a romantic relationship. Replying to this, the 28-year-old said, “Well, I would say definitely I wouldn’t want to date someone in the tennis world because it would just be so much tennis, I will feel like non-stop. On the one hand, they will probably relate with you more than anybody, but on the other hand, it’s like my friends.”

She further added, “My friends are mostly out of tennis. I like to text or call someone and talk about totally different stuff than tennis because my entire day is tennis, so I think that is the same applied to dating. But someone athletic is obviously ideal.”

Bouchard was in a relationship with NFL quarterback Mason Rudolph, but the couple separated recently.

Eugenie has made her preferences clear and it will definitely break the hearts of her fans. However, she still hasn’t given up on dating someone athletic, so she might end up with another star from a different sport.

Bouchard still hungry for tennis

An unfortunate shoulder injury and subsequent surgery meant that Bouchard missed out on tennis action for almost two years. The 28-year-old made a slow and cautious return to the tour. However, it won’t be wrong to say that the Canadian lacks the old flair.

While recovering, Bouchard worked as a tennis columnist on the Tennis Channel. However, the 28-year-old admitted that her heart still beats for tennis and she wants to play more.

Bouchard lost the first round of the last two tournaments she played in. Her last victory came in the first round of the Guadalajara Open. She defeated Kayla Day in straight sets. Do you think she can regain her old form in 2023? Let us know in the comments.
