Tennis fans erupt over Genie Bouchard’s racy Halloween costume
Eugenie Bouchard is known for going all-out for Halloween – and she didn’t disappoint this year.
The Canadian tennis star dressed up as Mileena from Mortal Kombat, sending her social media followers into a frenzy as she posted the photos online.
“Who wants to play,” she wrote on Instagram alongside two photos of her eye-popping costume.
Her purple outfit was even topped off with a COVID-safe face mask.
The post had over 160,000 likes on Instagram at time of writing.
“I mean who doesn’t wanna play,” commented Hungarian player Fanny Stollar.
Another fan wrote: “OMG beautiful pic”.
The 26-year-old Bouchard has previously dressed as Pamela Anderson from Baywatch in 2017, and ‘naked Kim Kardashian’ in 2016.
Bouchard has risen to World No.168 following a stunning resurgence in recent months.
After bursting onto the tennis scene in 2014 and rising as high as World No.5, she’s struggled for consistency and plummeted down the rankings in recent years.
She fell way down into the 300s at one stage, but has managed to fight her way back and was granted a wildcard to play in the French Open last month.
After two victories she fell to Polish teen sensation Iga Swiatek in the third round, who went on to claim the title for her maiden grand slam triumph.
