Eugenie Bouchard drops 1-word reaction to TikTok ban in USA explained with hilarious meme

Eugenie Bouchard has reacted to TikTok going inaccessible hours before the official ban. As per the US Supreme Court ruling, the ban on the social media platform in the United States was placed over security concerns and its ties to China.

Bouchard etched her name as the first Canada-born player to reach a major singles finals (2014 Wimbledon) in the Open Era. She also reached the semi-finals stage of the 2014 Australian Open and French Open besides receiving the WTA Most Improved Player of the Year award the same season. After years of struggles with injuries, forms, and falling out of rankings, the 30-year-old soared to the Billie Jean King Cup title finish in 2023 as Canada defeated Italy in the final 2-0.

The same year, Eugenie Bouchard announced her shift to professional pickleball without hanging her tennis racket. Now balancing two sporting careers, the Grand Slam finalist also boasts a massive social media following. Coming back to the TikTok ban, it voluntarily shut down because of concerns about links with China following the ruling by the Supreme Court.

The ban on the social media platform garnered the attention of Bouchard, who took to her Instagram story to express her feelings through a meme. The video featured a woman clinking her wine glass with inanimate objects while she lay on a bed with her eyes closed.

The caption read:

"How I'm going to sleep tonight"

Bouchard echoed the sentiments and wrote:

"Vibes"

Having played tennis all her life, Bouchard was quick to find confidence in her new sport, pickleball. The only difference she noted was the size of the paddle. In an interview with ESPN, the Canadian shared the story of how she doubted her form after her coach pushed her to play without emphasizing specific drills.

"I'm like, 'Is my form good? Is this good? Is that good? What drill should we work on for this shot?' I was going overboard, and this guy was like, 'Whoa, you're so unnecessarily detail-oriented about this.' He literally told me to just go to a pickup game and just play and said that's how I was going to improve the most."

She further noted how pickleball promotes bonding among players.

"People literally just show up to courts and just join matches and play and make friends. It's just really nice."

Eugenie Bouchard once reached No. 5 in the world rankings, becoming the first Canadian player to be ranked in the top 5 in singles.
