Every tennis player that aspires to have a career in pro wants to be famous… well… that’s not easy when it happens.
This is what Genie Bouchard has noticed when she came back to Canada after reaching the finals in Wimbledon (she lost to Petra Kvitova). Everybody wanted a “piece” of her on and off the court. That was difficult for the 20-year-old even if she knew it was coming (for the good).
Genie: I need to know tennis priority
Bouchard commented “Probably after I got back to Montreal. It took me a couple of days to get over it and get used to the whole situation—although I’m not sure it’s something you get used to.”
“People coming up to you and trying to take your picture. A lot of off-court requests. But I’m not going to complain about it. If didn’t want attention I would have been a librarian, so I think it’s all good. I just need to make sure I know the priority is tennis.”
Genie is now ranked now ranked no.7 after reaching a career high no.5 in October. 2015 has to be the year she wins her first slam. Can she make it?
