Really!? Well that girl knows how to make friends. Wow, she is going to piss a lot of people off if she do that.
The pending lawsuit was expected. I heard about on tv & radio a few days after the incident.
She's already getting blasted on social media for her lawsuit. They're also wondering what's she's thinking and if she really wants to be the most hated player on the tour. Personally, even though i'm still unsure of all the details, i'm convinced that her decision to play not only singles, but doubles and mixed doubles at the US Open didn't help. She was playing way too many matches in such a short period of time when the incident happened. Many at the time believed that her fall was possibly due to mental and physical exhaustion coming from playing too much tennis on that particular day.
People are also wondering what's the use of suing when she's already hit the jackpot financially, considering the damage to her reputation that the lawsuit will do. Unless, of course, she believes that her concussion problems will persist and possibly cause her to retire from tennis early. But i doubt that's the reason. I mean, okay, i have no doubt that she suffered a serious head injury/concussion. But it's not like she suffered a skull fracture!

Her health must be improving since she's posting more and more on Twitter and Instagram. She's never looked hotter!

Bouchard needs to play on court, not in court
by Rosie DiManno, Toronto Star
A concussion is not what caused Bouchard to plummet in the tour standings. Lousy tennis and an earlier abdominal tear accounted for that freefall.
A couple of smiley things have happened in Eugenie Bouchard’s life recently.
On Monday she got her driver’s license — always a momentous occasion of independence for a young person. Despite all the misfortunes that have befallen Canada’s most famous tennis player, the 21-year-old doubtless still has enough money — earnings of $883,111 this past year, $4,609,148 in career to date, and that doesn’t include the lucrative endorsement portfolio — to buy herself a sassy set of wheels.
A few weeks ago, she made “the hottest’’ list of yet another website devoted to tennis pulchritude. The girl’s still got it.
And on Halloween Bouchard posted pictures to Instagram togged up as Rosie the Riveter, flexing bicep.
Looked healthy and strong. Yet at her “comeback match” in early October, the not-so-long-ago top 10 player retired from the first round of the China Open with the dizzies, staggering off the court and sobbing bitterly into her towel. “I thought I was physically ready but unfortunately the physical symptoms of my concussion came back,” Bouchard said.
Rattled brainpans cannot be rushed, as too many athletes have discovered to their dismay. Sidney Crosby was sidelined for 11 months after being driven head-first into the boards. The NFL is contending with a full-fledged “concussion crisis.” Post-concussion problems can linger for years, the trauma of brain injury abbreviating both careers and lives.
But tennis isn’t a violent contact sport and Bouchard is highly unlikely to have her bruised gray matter subjected to further damage.
Her fragile cerebellum is not the reason Bouchard tumbled down to No. 48 on the WTA Tour standings. She was headed south long before that awful locker room spill she suffered at the U.S. Open.
In a litigious world, the finger of blame is inevitably pointed at somebody, something. And it certainly seems the U.S. Tennis Association, as governing body for the Open, bears some responsibility for harm coming to athletes at its venues. The image of a frail, woozy Bouchard arriving at stadium to formally withdraw from the tournament on that September Sunday will long haunt the organization.
As everyone knows, Bouchard slipped and fell on her way walking through the physiotherapy room to the ice tub for a soak after playing a singles and doubles match, sustaining a serious head injury. She’d been enjoying a promising competition, her best Grand Prix acquittal at the tail of a disastrous season, and was primed for a fourth round match against Italy’s Roberta Vinci. Advancing out of that encounter would have earned the Canadian an extra $197,000. She was also the only Open entrant still alive in singles, doubles and mixed doubles.
The late-night accident, in an unlit room with no attendants present, was a bizarre episode. In the lawsuit that Bouchard filed a month ago, she accused the USTA and National Tennis Centre of “carelessness, negligence, wanton and willful disregard’’, specifically a “foreign and dangerous substance’’ on the floor which caused her to flip, banging head and elbow.
It should be noted that Bouchard hails from a family that’s been through the legal grind before. Her investment banker father lost a four-year battle with Revenue Canada over an attempt to claim development-related expenses that, he said, contributed to making his daughter the Wimbledon runner-up in 2014 and a global sensation.
That’s a dad exploiting a daughter for financial gain.
The young woman is receiving poor career advice with her own suit, presumably at the urging of family and management advisors.
In court — Bouchard has asked for trial by jury in the civil matter — it’s probable that the USTA would be found liable to some extent and financial compensation awarded (no damage figure is cited in the documents) for tournaments missed whilst recovering. On the evidence, they would seem at least partly responsible, though an argument will surely be mounted that Bouchard was careless under the circumstances.
But the concussion is not what caused Bouchard to plummet in the tour standings. Lousy tennis and an earlier abdominal tear accounted for that freefall.
The legal factum further argues that withdrawal from the Open damaged Bouchard’s value to top-drawer sponsors such as Nike, Rolex and Diet Coke.
There are two problems with this assertion: Firstly, Bouchard was already on a downward trajectory as Big Sponsor shill and that was completely her own doing because she hadn’t delivered between the white lines. Sell your soul, your very essence, to the endorsement maestros and they get to assess your marketing bona fides.
Secondly, there’s actually been no indication that Bouchard has fallen hugely out of favor with the Mad Men of Madison Avenue. No contracts have been dropped. Recently, Bouchard has been tweeting pix modelling Nike’s new clothing line. There’s no whiff, yet, of turning into the next Anna Kournikova. That will depend completely on how Bouchard fares competitively. If she’s become something of a cautionary tale in tennis circles, her accident isn’t the culprit. As the new “It” girl on the tennis tour, Garbine Muguruza, stated rather unkindly recently: “I saw an example in Genie. It’s not a good example.’’
Bouchard is thoroughly capable of lifting her career out of the ashes of 2015. What she needs to decide — as an adult, capable of making her own decisions — is whether she really wants to go to war with the sport’s commanding authority. Does she still crave a pro career or merely the perks of celebrity, the red carpets and the magazine covers?
The Australian Open, launching the 2016 Grand Prix season, is merely 66 days away.
Play hardball on the court, Genie, not in the courts.
And call your own shots.

Bouchard slowly improving towards upcoming Aussie Open
HOBART, Australia — Canada’s Eugenie Bouchard has earned a spot in the quarter-finals of the Hobart International tennis tournament.
The 21-year-old native of Westmount, Que., scored a 6-4, 7-5 victory against Belgian Alison Van Uytvanck.
Bouchard, ranked 47th in the world, will next face Italian Camila Giorgi in this tune-up up for the Australian Open which begins on Jan. 18.
Bouchard had reached the quarterfinals of the Shenzhen Open in China last week in her first major match since suffering a concussion at the U.S. Open last September.
In other tennis news, Canadian tennis star Milos Raonic won his semi-final in the Brisbane Open by beating tennis great Roger Federer. By the way, if you get the chance to check out his girlfriend Danielle Knudson's instagram account, you won't be disappointed. Hot! Hot! Hot!

It would appear she has bulked up a bit - notice the bicep and forearm definition.
before - a little more skinnier and bonier

Wow, she definitely look a little bigger.
My best friend Marie-Ève has such a big crush on her. I just wanted to share the info here with all you pervs.
Not true I think. Eugenie actually seems to have lost some "baby fat"? She's lean and muscular now. She is one of the top ten hostest girl on the planet is you ask me
She's thinner than she was two years ago. She learned to eat better and exercise better in order to be quicker on the court and to boost up her modelling career. But as i watched last night's match, i noticed she doesn't seem as frail as she did last season. She's in between what she was last year and two years ago, which i think will be perfect for her game. As for being one of the ten hottest women on the planet, no way. Her two sisters Beatrice and Charlotte are hotter than she is. Take a look at their Instagram accounts and you'll know what i mean. If there's a negative for me, it's that i wish she had slightly bigger boobs.
Imagine her with Jelena Dokic's boobs, remember her? holala
So she is in the final, that is cool. The lady she beat, Cibulkova is also quite something, pretty, pettite and firm...

Yeah, i remember Dokic. She had a restraining order against her crazy and abusing father.
Cibulkova is somewhat pretty, but she's way too muscular and tomboyish for my tastes. She reminds me of a little bulldog.
Bouchard lost in straight sets earlier to A. Radwanska of Poland. Bouchard looked good and actually lead in the first set. However, too many unforced errors did her in. You can't win when you commit 37 unforced errors in only two sets.
But her first serve has improved and she still has to work on getting a better 2nd serve in. But she must reduce those unforced errors.

A new look for Genie, but will it help her tennis game ??
