During her Q&A session on Instagram, a fan made sure to remind her of those words. In a short yet funny comment, the fan wrote, “Djokovic is a baby lol”. Bouchard immediately replied in a witty manner, by saying, “You said it, not me!”
While she received such questions, she also received questions and comments on other aspects. The questions ranged from food choices to TV preferences, and some also included her potential return to tennis.
