"I wouldn’t want to date someone in the tennis world" - Eugenie Bouchard

In a recent episode of the podcast Golf, Mostly, Eugenie Bouchard spoke about dating as a professional athlete.

Since tennis is the main focus of Bouchard's life at the moment, she stated that she wouldn't date a tennis player as it would "just be too much tennis."

“Well, I would say, definitely, I wouldn’t want to date someone in the tennis world because it would just be so much tennis, I feel like non-stop,” Eugenie Bouchard said.

“On the one hand, they would probably relate with you more than anybody, but on the other hand, it’s like my friends. My friends are mostly out of tennis and I like to text or call someone and talk about totally different stuff than tennis because my entire day is tennis, so I feel like the same would apply to dating,” she added.

Bouchard went on to list the characteristics she is looking for in a prospective partner.

“Someone athletic is obviously ideal,” she said.

“Respectful, but also confident. I think confidence is very attractive and someone who’s funny, personality matters. After a while, looks fade, and if this is someone who is going to be someone for the future, then you got to make each other laugh and be friends.”

“You can be normal, socialize, go on more dates than usual, but normally it’s very hard. Now look, I’m going to be on the road for a month and just going to be in my room doing room service, hanging out with my coach so that’s what I’m foreseeing for the next month,” she concluded.
