After Wimbledon exit, fans urge Eugenie Bouchard to take up modelling

Eugenie Bouchard

Canadian tennis ace Eugenie Bouchard is going through some tough times. Bouchard, who crashed out of Wimbledon last week after a 4-6, 5-7 loss to Ashleigh Barty in straight sets, posted a picture (above) of herself recently on Twitter with a Wimbledon shopping bag. "Who wants some Wimbledon goodies?" she tweeted.

The picture did not go down well with some of her fans. "Concentrate on tennis instead of modelling. Lost focus," one user wrote. Another added: "You have all the time dear to shop since you again didn't go very far in the tournament. It's a shame for such tennis talents to go to waste. So long Wimbledon, hello Instagram." Some fans though did come to her defense. "Ya done good Genie," one user wrote. "What is she supposed to do? Sit and wallow in her loss?" asked another user.
