Genie Bouchard has had enough — and this time, she’s clapping back harder than a down-the-line forehand. After a week of snarky comments flooding her social media (cue the usual “influencer not athlete” takes), Bouchard posted a spicy Instagram story that left no doubt: she’s done playing nice.
The post? A video of her hammering forehands on court, sweat flying, paired with the caption: “Still grinding. Still playing. Still not just a pretty face 💅.” Oof. The shade practically cast a solar eclipse over the timeline.
Fans were quick to rally behind her. “Tell ’em, queen!” and “Serve looks and winners” dominated the comments. But of course, the trolls kept trolling — and Genie, being Genie, doubled down. In a follow-up post, she wrote, “I can multitask. It’s 2025. Try it sometime.”
Bouchard’s never shied away from the spotlight, but this latest moment proves she’s also not afraid to punch back when people underestimate her. And let’s face it — it’s a tale as old as tennis: woman athlete dares to be hot and competitive, and suddenly she’s “not serious.” Yawn.
What her critics forget is that behind the glam and glamor is a Grand Slam finalist who knows exactly how hard she’s worked — and doesn’t need to prove it to anyone. But when she does, she makes sure it’s headline-worthy.
So, next time someone underestimates Genie? They might want to duck — because the clapback game is elite.
