Genie Bouchard had taken part in the "All-in-Challenge" and had a very special meeting auctioned off: a tournament of your choice, where you can sit in your player's box, enjoy a dinner with Genie personally and a signed one Racket receives. Expenses included.
It was clear that the Canadian could be certain of a very large and loyal fan base, whether she actually expected a profit of $ 85,000, but there is reason to doubt. In the end, 37 fans were there, the minimum of $ 2,500 was exceeded many times over.
"You are insane," Bouchard finally wrote on Instagram, where she announced the prize money. "I am so thankful and proud that you all participated. I can't wait to meet the winner!"
The prize money should go to 100 percent for good causes - to the projects "Feeding America", Meals on Wheels "," World Central Kitchen "and" No Kid Hungry ".
Genie Bouchard: Not the first fan date
For Bouchard, Wimbledon finalist 2014, it is not the first date with a fan. At the beginning of 2017, she had been carried away by the Super Bowl to say that the high-ranking Patriots would probably no longer win. When asked by a fan whether she would otherwise go out with him, she quickly got involved. And the Patriots won after an insane comeback ...
Bouchard kept her word and met her date, student John Goerke. A year later, the two went out again at the 2018 Super Bowl .
In terms of sport, things were no longer running smoothly at the former fifth place in the world rankings. After form crises and injuries, it is currently only rank 332 in the WTA ranking.
