In a plot twist no one saw coming, Genie Bouchard has sent shockwaves through the tennis world — and not with a forehand winner. The Canadian star just dropped a bombshell on social media, announcing a surprise career pivot that’s left fans both stunned and scrambling for answers.
Is she quitting tennis? Switching sports? Launching a skincare line? Nope — Genie is officially dipping her toes into sports broadcasting, confirming she’s signed on as a full-time analyst for a major network starting this summer. And just like that, Bouchard’s career trajectory went from centre court to centre camera.
Tennis Twitter went into immediate meltdown. “She’s got the looks, the game IQ, and the sass — it’s perfect,” one fan gushed. Others weren’t so thrilled. “Is this the end of Genie the player?” one comment read, followed by a sea of crying emojis.
Bouchard, ever the queen of unpredictability, hasn’t ruled out returning to the tour. “This doesn’t mean I’m hanging up my racquet,” she said. “I just want to explore all sides of the sport I love.” Translation: she’s not going quietly — she’s going multiplatform.
Love her or roll your eyes, there’s no denying Genie knows how to keep the spotlight. Whether she’s dissecting tactics in a studio or dishing out drama courtside, she’s not disappearing — she’s evolving. And tennis better keep watching… because Genie’s next move is always her boldest.
