Nah, you have her mixed up with her twin sister!
Really??? How sad, she's a stunner :faint:
She's already out of the French Open, losing in straight sets to a nobody.
She fucking sucks!!!

Doc, do you know much about tennis? Go read Andre Agassi's bio you will see that you lose a lot in Tennis. The fact she is from Canada makes us focus our attention on just her and all her loss makes us think she is a loser. If you think that way there is only 2 or 3 winners and all other are losers.
A nobody? she lost againt' the girl rank number 8 at this french open, not particulary a nobody.
Just putting things in perspective...
Cheers,
Maybe youre right. But who should care? She already achieved more than Kournikova. But again, she still has 6-7 years ahead of her to prove she is a top ten player. If it does not happen well up to now she is already the best female tennis player canada never had. Not bad...
Cheers,
I'm not really trying to get on her case. It's just that I saw certain signs. I would certainly love her to do well.
I watch a little bit of women's tennis and my read on Bouchard is that she is a little bit soft mentally. She also doesn't have elite talent.
That being said she is a serviceable pro and will hang around for another 8 years, make money, and then come back to Montreal area and open up her own tennis academy. It's a good life. There were many good players who never won anything. Vitas Gerulaitis was a top 5 player for about 5 years but because Borg, Connors and McEnroe were around he didn't win anything. He was an excellent player and he got laid more than the other 3 combined, so Vitas is my hero.

And that is something that a "good" human being would say?
Ya post number 6 since Nov 2012, good thing he does not post more often
Yup that is Tennis. Look at Richard Gasquet. Number 1 in the world in 2002. Never did better then 3 semi-final in grand chelem. Won 13 times smaller tournement tho. Some will see him as a loser but he is having an amazing carreer if you ask me! Only 12 different player won grand chelem since 2002 (on 56 tournement)!
I think one of the issues that may prevent Eugenie from shining is drive not talent. I think she has the talent as evidenced by her early success. The problem is where she comes from. She comes from privilege. She does not need to do this to aspire to a very good lifestyle. If she does not start winning relatively soon she will just say fuck it! I don't need this shit! And still have a charmed life unlike many (not all) who do not come from the same background.
I agree. Issue is what does she value more...being an elite athlete or being a celebrity. I think she values the celebrity much more at this stage. If she does not regain focus and form soon she will lose her celebrity and star status and all the adulation that she adores and just become a has been.
I beleive in that. That probably led her to fire coach Saviano because he was too tough on her. Big mistake. He knew what it takes, she tought she knew..
100 % fact
Just to make it to the dance is quite an accomplishment.
