Eugenie Bouchard stepped away from professional tennis in July 2025. Since then, she has been focusing more on pickleball. In an interview with Times Now, she explained how this change started in a very simple way.“I played with friends in the Covid time. I think that’s when a lot of people kind of picked it up and it started really becoming popular then. And at the end of 2023, after the US Open, my agent just came to me and was like, ‘Hey, we have this opportunity. If you want to play some events on the PPA, which is like the Professional Pickleball Association, play in their league, you could do that,” she said.What started as casual play slowly turned into something bigger. Now, she is taking the sport seriously and playing in major events. For Bouchard, this shift is not just about sport. It is also about finding a fresh start after years in tennis.
