Did Genie Bouchard Just Break the Rules by Entering a Retired-Only Tennis Tournament?

Is it a comeback, a loophole exploit, or just pure Genie Bouchard chaos? The tennis world is buzzing after the former World No. 5 signed on for the 2025 Luxembourg Ladies Tennis Masters—a tournament supposedly reserved for “retired” WTA players. The keyword here is “retired,” and fans are furiously Googling: “Wait… is Genie Bouchard officially done?”

Let’s break it down. Genie hasn’t played a full WTA season in years. She’s been bouncing between broadcasting, dabbling in pickleball (yes, really), and sprinkling in some modeling and tropical influencer content. But technically, she never issued a “peace out, tennis” announcement. So does entering a retirement tournament mean she’s finally calling it quits?

The Luxembourg Ladies Tennis Masters clearly didn’t mind. In fact, they seemed thrilled to have her, throwing Genie’s name onto the lineup with other beloved veterans like Kim Clijsters and Andrea Petkovic. But let’s be honest—none of them were sharing sun-soaked pics in bikinis last week before suddenly announcing they’d play in a tournament for retirees. It’s classic Bouchard: mix one part drama, one part glamour, and top it off with an Instagram post that breaks the internet.

So is this a farewell or a flex? Either way, fans are here for it. Genie’s appearance is expected to bring eyeballs, headlines, and maybe even a little scandal to an otherwise low-key event. And if she ends up winning the whole thing? Well, let’s just say tennis Twitter will implode.

One thing’s for sure: only Genie could blur the line between retired athlete and comeback queen with this much flair. She may not follow the traditional tennis script, but she definitely knows how to steal the spotlight. And honestly? We wouldn’t have it any other way.
