Not a cheap date - Eugenie Bouchard

No sooner said than done: there is still time to tact, the bidding process for Eugenie Bouchard's favor continues for just under twelve days. It could be expensive, however, the package with a joint dinner and the opportunity to take a large tournament in the Canadian box: The original minimum offer of $ 2,500 has long been exceeded, Sunday morning you would already have had $ 22,000 Have to put down dollars to meet Bouchard.

Oh, yes: Bouchard also pays for the flight costs, there is also a signed racket and a pair of sneakers.

The campaign also runs under the motto "15 Seconds of Fame". In fact, attention is guaranteed when Genie Bouchard appears on the scene. For example, a few years ago she invited a fan to an NBA game because of a lost Super Bowl bet, and the photos of the couple in row one went through the world.

After her exceptional year 2014, where she also won her only tournament on the WTA tour to date in Nuremberg, things were not going as smoothly for Bouchard. The 26-year-old from Montreal is only 332 in the WTA world rankings, and Bianca Andreescu took the sporting leadership in Canadian women's tennis last year with her triumphs in Indian Wells, Toronto and at the US Open. And with Leylah Annie Fernandez, the next young Canadian is already in the starting blocks.
