The Canadian is now pursuing a professional career in pickleball. Eugenie Bouchard enjoyed a successful tennis career, being the first Canadian player to reach a major final at the 2014 Australian Open. The same year, she received the WTA Most Improved Player of the Year honor, as she also made two major semifinal appearances at the Australian Open and at Roland Garros. Although the 31-year-old couldn't replicate the feat in the following years, struggling with her form, she continued competing until her final match at the 2025 Canadian Open in front of her home crowd. Now a professional pickleball player, Bouchard still makes frequent appearances on the tennis courts. In a recent video, she was seen competing with a six-year-old prodigy and getting a real run for her money, even losing a few points in a heartwarming rally.

Her career spanned more than a decade and has inspired several up-and-coming stars from her nation. This year, when she decided to end her tennis journey, the 31-year-old said that she had experienced everything she needed to, and that continuing would no longer be worthwhile."It just takes so much dedication, sacrifice, and dedicating your entire life to have a chance to make it. That’s something I have done my whole life thus far. For me, at a certain point, that’s just not worth it anymore. I feel like I kind of did the whole spectrum of positive, negative, good results, bad results, and I guess that’s what life is too, right? So tennis was a little kind of sample of what real life is," she said. (via WTA Tennis)Eugenie Bouchard peaked at No. 5 in 2014, becoming the first from her country to achieve this milestone.
