Genie Bouchard could be the latest “casualty” of the upcoming Games. Seeded no.5, the Canadian beauty has just lost in the first round at the Citi Open to announce that she is still not very sure about her participation in Rio.
Everything is booked, but she is scared. TENNIS CANADA
According to Tennis Canada president and CEO Kelly Murumets, Genie is quite afraid to go to Rio “I know that she wants to play the Olympics, and she’s been part of our campaign, and she’s wearing the Canadian flag on her heart. I think the health concerns in Rio are scaring her a bit, so I think she’s a little bit on the fence.
She’s signed all the papers, and we have hotel and flights for her, but I think she’s a little nervous.”
I am truly undecided. BOUCHARD
Genie commented “I’m truly undecided, and you see more and more people pulling out as kind of the deadline gets closer. It’s just unfortunate because it would be my first games, and to have a problem like this kind of dampening the excitement of potentially your first Olympic Games, it really sucks, to be honest.”
