Who knew pickleball could get this hot? Eugenie Bouchard, Canada’s tennis sweetheart-turned-pickleball queen, was absolutely glowing as her squad, the Phoenix Flames, torched the competition on Sunday Night Pickleball. And if you thought Genie was only there to swing a paddle, think again — she brought the fire on and off the court.
Bouchard didn’t just play — she performed. Whether it was her lightning-quick reflexes or her courtside flair, she had fans and cameras locked in. But it was the post-match celebration that truly lit up social media. Champagne? Check. Selfies with fans? Of course. A not-so-subtle victory dance that’s already doing numbers on TikTok? Naturally.
The Flames’ dominant win wasn’t just a boost for the team — it was a flex for Bouchard, who’s proving that her crossover into pickleball isn’t just a publicity stunt. She’s in it to win it, and judging by Sunday night, she’s thriving in this fast-growing, headline-grabbing arena.
And let’s be honest — the woman knows how to work a moment. As pickleball’s popularity explodes, Bouchard’s mix of athleticism and celebrity charm might be just what the sport needs to hit the next level.
From Wimbledon courts to pickleball parties, Genie Bouchard is rewriting her sports story — and she’s doing it in blazing Phoenix style. One thing’s clear: when the Flames are on, so is Genie.
