Former tennis star turned bombshell TV sports pundit Eugenie Bouchard has stunned fans with her jaw-dropping bikini pics.

The curvy Canadian, 32, won an army of new admirers this summer as she took on punditry duties at Wimbledon for the BBC. Captioning the photo series, 'Summer never end!!', she posted a number of snaps.

One showed her in a tiny bikini as the blonde beauty soaked up the sun on a boat. The idyllic-looking photo caused a sensation. Underneath the post was a sea of red heart emojis with one fan writing: "Dream girl", while another said: "Perfect in every way."

Following her hit stint at SW19, Bouchard elected to unwind by taking a trip to Lake Como. The 32-year-old was at the centre of another social media love-in as she shared bikini snaps on Instagram as she took a swim, captioning the images: "Never say no to Como".

Many were blown away. One called her "too gorgeous" while another wrote "perfection". There was much fanfare surrounding Bouchard's move to the BBC this summer.

The glamorous Montreal-born star, who is fluent in French and English, caught the eye at the Championships in 2014, reaching the women's singles final at just 20. But she has since won a whole new set of fans thanks to her striking social media presence.

Speaking about her appeal off the court, Bouchard told YouTuber Valeria Lipovetsky during a 2024 podcast episode: "Tennis, first of all, is a great sport for that sex appeal side. Were wearing short skirts, were wearing tank tops. Its fun to turn on the TV and watch that.

"Right away, I was able to get great marketing deals off the court. Being asked to be in the Sports Illustrated Swimsuit Edition a few times. Exploring that path was definitely on my to-do list. Its definitely part of who I am because I think its great."

Bouchard, who retired from the game in 2025, reached two Grand Slam semi-finals, including her Wimbledon final against Petra Kvitova. She failed to advance past the quarter-finals in a major since that feat in 2014, however.

Her last appearance in the main draw at Wimbledon came in 2019. She also entered qualifying in 2023 but lost in straight sets to Greet Minnen.

In 2019, the Canadian star spoke to the Telegraph about accusations she had become more of a social media influencer than a tennis player. "I think everyone cares what people think about them so saying: 'I dont care about them at all' would be a lie," she said.

"Obviously, I do care just like everybody else would. I also try to take it as a compliment because it means youve done something, stood up for something, created enough emotion for them to engage with you."
