Genie Bouchard is one of the most recognizable athletes of her generation — a former world No. 5 tennis player, Wimbledon finalist and one of the biggest tennis stars to ever come out of Canada.
From growing up in Montreal to moving to Florida at age 12 to chase tennis full time, Genie’s story is all sacrifice, pressure and competing on the biggest stages in the world. In this week’s episode of Pickleballers, she sits down with Roscoe and Jared to talk about her journey in the tennis world and why she ultimately signed with the PPA Tour to play pro pickleball.
She may have started 0–9 in her first few tournaments, but now she’s gone from “tennis star trying pickleball” to a legit threat making finals and beating top players.
