‘Why Are Jack and I Mean Muggin’ – Eugenie Bouchard Hilariously Teases Rapper Jack Harlow at a Sponsor Event

Eugenie Bouchard, the 28-year-old Canadian tennis ace, is the first Canada-born player representing Canada to reach the finals of a Grand Slam tournament at 2014 Wimbledon. She also reached the semifinals of the Australian Open and Roland Garros in 2014 and climbed up the rankings table to achieve the career highest ranking of world no.5 in the year 2014.

However, Bouchard’s current ranking isn’t in the top 100, as she is on the sidelines because of a shoulder injury since 2021. Even so, Eugenie is successfully landing sponsorships owing to her huge social media presence. Her latest collaboration is with New Balance.
