Retired tennis star Genie Bouchard knows how to keep her fans on their toes. The 32-year-old Canadian, who hung up her racket at the 2025 National Bank Open in Montreal, proved she still commands attention with a cheeky new social media post that had followers buzzing.
On Thursday night, Bouchard dropped a photo dump on Instagram, and the second slide stole the show. She posed in a vibrant green swimsuit, captioning the image with a wink: “tried to take thirst traps.” The result? A tidal wave of compliments from her adoring fanbase.
“You’re the most beautiful girl,” one admirer wrote. Another declared, “Genie never disappoints,” while a third chimed in, “Absolute stunner.” The post quickly racked up thousands of likes, proving that Bouchard’s star power hasn’t dimmed since her playing days ended.
Bouchard burst onto the global stage in 2014, reaching the semifinals of the Australian Open and French Open before falling to Petra Kvitova in the Wimbledon final. That remarkable run catapulted her to a career-high ranking of No. 5. But injuries and inconsistency derailed her momentum, and she officially retired in 2025 after a three-set loss to Belinda Bencic in Montreal.
“I think it’s so special to play my last match here in Montreal on this court in front of you guys,” Bouchard said after her final match. “I remember being a little kid sitting in these stands, hoping and dreaming that I can play on this court one day. … It feels like such a full circle moment to finish my career here. Tennis has given me so much. I’m filled with so much gratitude for this sport and the people along the way.”
Since stepping away from competitive tennis, Bouchard has remained a fan favorite, thanks in part to her vibrant social media presence and her history as a Sports Illustrated Swimsuit model. She made her debut in the iconic magazine in 2017 and returned the following year, embracing the experience with confidence.
“I definitely feel much more comfortable this time around and I feel like I can just be myself,” she said in 2018. “I’m just trying to have fun and trying to work hard because it is very hard work.”
Could a third SI Swimsuit appearance be on the horizon? Fans are certainly hoping so. In the meantime, they’ll settle for her playful thirst traps that keep the internet buzzing.
Bouchard isn’t the only sports figure turning up the heat on social media. Jenny Dell's fans went wild over her latest swimsuit snap from a Florida getaway, while NFL influencer Annie Agar turned up the heat with a swimsuit shot aimed at Mike Vrabel. But few can match the staying power of a former Grand Slam finalist who knows exactly how to serve up a viral moment.
