"Risky of them to give me a mic. The former world No. 5 joined the Tennis Channel as a pundit during the BNP Paribas Open at Indian Wells, taking place through March 1-15, less than a year after she retired from the game in July."
"Bouchard juggled fame and social media stardom when she reached the Wimbledon final at age 20 in 2014, where she became the first Canadian to reach a Grand Slam singles final and achieved a career-high ranking of world No. 5."
"Bouchard retired after falling to No. 17 seed Belinda Bencic, 6-2, 3-6, 6-4, in the final singles match in the National Bank Open in Montreal last July. She confirmed earlier that month that she planned to play her final tournament in her hometown."
Eugenie Bouchard, the former world No. 5 tennis player, joined Tennis Channel as a pundit at the BNP Paribas Open at Indian Wells in March, less than a year after retiring from professional tennis in July. The Canadian, who turned 32 in February, retired after losing to Belinda Bencic in the final singles match at the National Bank Open in Montreal. This broadcasting role is not her first experience in the analyst seat; she previously joined Tennis Channel as a studio analyst and commentator in August 2021 during her recovery from shoulder surgery. Bouchard achieved significant career milestones, including reaching the Wimbledon final at age 20 in 2014 as the first Canadian to reach a Grand Slam singles final and attaining a career-high ranking of world No. 5.
