Canadian player Eugenie Bouchard was seen enjoying her time with boxer Jean Pascal and MMA fighter Georges St-Pierre. The 28-year-old even shared a few photos on social media.
Bouchard, who has not been in action lately, is utilizing her leisure time by letting her hair down. The former World No. 5 even shared a photo of her grandmother standing between Pascal and St-Pierre, saying:
"Grandma hanging with the GOATs"
Bouchard was originally supposed to be a part of the Calgary Challenger tournament that kicked off on November 6. However, she was forced to withdraw last minute owing to an illness. She was dejected on her withdrawal and said:
“I woke up this morning feeling sick, and I am not going to be able to play next week in Calgary. I am grateful to the tournament for offering me a wildcard and I am sad not to be able to participate. Competing on home soil is always special and look forwarding to competing in Canada soon.”
Bouchard played her last competitive match in the WTA 125K Midland and was knocked out of the tournament in the second round by Colombia's Camila Osorio Serrano.
