Every tennis player has exceptional qualities. But rarely any of them have all the skills put together. While some athletes may be superior in terms of specific skills, others may be good in other respects. What if you could choose the best qualities, among the best in the sector, and transform them into one? Well, Canadian tennis star Eugenie Bouchard recently reflected on the same thing. He chose seven players and their different skills, which together could help build a supreme tennis player.
Among the skills, for which he chose the players, were the skills, the right, the physical form, the athletics, the backhand, the IQ of tennis and the desire to win.
Eugenie Bouchard chooses the best skills of the best players
While speaking to Tennis Channel International, the 26-year-old Canadian selected Petra Kvitova for her service skills and Serena Williams for her straight and general athleticism. Bouchard also chose herself in the reverse category.
“Can I take my backhand? I love my backhand. I try to be really aggressive with it and I feel like I can position it well over the field and mix it up so you know it’s an important weapon for me to have.
“If I had to choose the service of a WTA player I would choose Petra Kvitova. She’s left-handed, so it’s already a different kind of spin from what we normally see because there are more rights on tour. This is so powerful and precise. I hate to play against her with her serve. Forehand I think I would go with Serena’s forehand, I think she can do so much with so much variety and that’s why it’s so lethal. “
“The first time I played it was in Cincinnati like years ago and you know it can hit her very hard, but she also likes to mix it a lot and I wasn’t expecting it, so that’s what I really like to have an impact on me. how beautiful it was. ”
The genius seems to be fascinated by Serena when she chose the 23-time Grand Slam single winner in another category.
“Athletics I’ll go Serena again just because you know she’s so physically strong and can somehow dominate the game with that physical presence so so she has to be the best in the world I think of“.
Eugenie Bouchard chooses the strongest, smartest and most determined by will players
He also chose Simona Halep for his fitness levels, Sofia Kenin for his intelligence in tennis and Alison Riske for his willingness to win at all costs.
“Tennis IQ you know I think this year’s Australian Open winner Sophia Kenin. I think it’s an excellent IQ for tennis. He is super smart on the pitch and can understand things that make Kenin so good. I mean, you know exactly what’s going on here. seven games in a slam is that you can’t, luckily, do it luckily or just get by. so I think she was able to solve the problems during her games, she had difficult games, I think they helped her win“.
“Fitness, I should go with Halep. He is obviously super strong and can survive all his opponents. Obviously winning also the French Open is proof of this.
“The will to win Alison Riske certainly has an incredible will to win. I have played it many times and we have had really difficult battles and fights. and I saw her play too and she never gives up, no matter what happens. I think she sometimes has many three-level games and you can always count on her to fight to the end“.
The search for genius for improvement
Eugene Bouchard is already a tennis sensation in Canada. In 2014, she became the first player in her country to reach the Wimbledon final, where she eventually lost to Petra Kvitova. Once the number 5 player in the world, Bouchard is currently at number 332. He would definitely like to improve his rankings. Who knows, maybe this GOAT list can help you in the future.
