One of Canada’s players, Eugenie Bouchard, has become quite a sensation over time. His best performances came early in his career, when he made his first breakthrough.
However, he has failed to maintain the levels he once made the world witness. In 2014, Bouchard had the best streak of his career. He made it to the semifinals of the Australian Open and the French Open.
He even made it to the Wimbledon final that year, before falling prey to Petra Kvitova. With the form he was in that season, fans expected him to make it to the end.
Eugenie Bouchard fills a bucket with ice water poured over it
Recently, a funny video of the Canadian appeared on Instagram.
She was seen training at the Mouratoglou Tennis Academy when she lost a bet. The penalty for losing that bet was hilarious. A bucket of water mixed with ice was poured over the old world no. 5. Naturally, his reaction was funny.
A few years ago, the ice bucket challenge became a trend among celebrities from various fields, including sports personalities. It was an activity that involved pouring a bucket of ice water over a person’s head, either by another person or by oneself, to promote awareness of amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS).
Bouchard is currently preparing for the 2021 Australian Open. In order to move into the main draw, he has to win the qualifying round matches to be held in Dubai for the 2021 season.
The reason the organizers do this is the coronavirus pandemic. The main priority is to perform the first grand slam of the new season with the maximum safety precautions. In 2020, Eugenie lost in the third round of qualifying matches at the Australian Open. He will hope to have a better run during this year’s edition.
