Eugenie Bouchard, the retired tennis star and newly announced BBC pundit for Wimbledon 2026, has caused a stir by sharing a stunning bikini selfie on social media while on holiday in Hawaii. The 32-year-old Canadian, who reached the women's singles final at Wimbledon in 2014, posted a mirror selfie wearing a vibrant orange bikini top, complemented by a large bucket hat, blue and white shorts, Chanel moccasins, and a black cardigan.
Bouchard's New Role at the BBC
Bouchard will join the BBC's revamped punditry line-up for this summer's Wimbledon coverage, alongside fellow newcomers Jamie Murray and Laura Robson. She retired from professional tennis in July 2025 and has since built a successful career as a pundit with TNT Sports and Tennis Channel. Her experience as a Grand Slam finalist makes her well-suited to provide sharp courtside reactions and analysis.
Career Highlights and Challenges
Bouchard first gained global attention at age 20 when she reached the Wimbledon final, losing to Czech star Petra Kvitova. Earlier that year, she had reached the semi-finals of both the Australian Open and the French Open. However, she never replicated those heights and later admitted her career was consumed by chaos, leading to her retirement at age 31. She also ventured into modelling, including a cover appearance for Sports Illustrated.
Social Media Presence
Bouchard, who regularly stuns her two million Instagram followers, is set to bring a new edge to the BBC's Wimbledon coverage. Her recent bikini selfie has already generated significant attention online.
