Wait, Did Genie Bouchard Just Tease a Tennis Comeback in That Sultry Interview?

Could it be? Genie Bouchard—the queen of courts and curves—may have just hinted at a return to tennis… but in a way only Genie could pull off: while lounging glamorously in a silky dress, giving a smoldering side-eye during an interview that had fans wondering if they were watching a sports segment or a perfume ad.

The sultry sit-down had everything: soft lighting, suggestive pauses, and just enough tennis lingo to keep sports fans hanging on her every lip-glossed word. When asked about her future in the game, Genie gave a tantalizing smirk and purred, “Never say never.” Cue the collective gasp of tennis Twitter—and probably a few ATP players nervously checking their schedules.

Was it a cryptic comeback announcement or just Genie being Genie? Either way, she served that interview like it was match point at Wimbledon. One second she’s discussing “physical training,” the next she’s talking about “getting back in rhythm,” and suddenly everyone’s convinced we’re moments away from a dramatic Grand Slam return—preferably in a diamond-studded visor.

Of course, fashion-watchers and tennis geeks alike were more than thrilled. One group obsessed over her words, the other over her dress with the thigh-high slit and enough sass to knock over a chair umpire. Basically, Genie could’ve said she was returning to ping pong and we still would’ve lost our minds.

Whether this is a full-blown comeback or just a “maybe I’ll hit a few balls for the cameras” kind of tease, Genie knows exactly how to keep the buzz alive. The fans are fired up. The headlines are flying. And somewhere, a wild card tournament director is already drafting the invite.

Whatever happens, one thing’s clear: Genie’s never really left the spotlight. She’s just been biding her time… in stilettos.
