Canadian tennis star Eugenie Bouchard dropped by the Westminster pool in Dollard-des-Ormeaux on Wednesday, July 9.
Less than a week after her appearance at the Wimbledon women’s final, the Westmount native was in Dollard to watch a swim meet against Cote St-Luc.
Although she lost the Wimbledon final to Petra Kvitova of Czechoslovakia on July 5, Bouchard’s performance propelled her to the No. 7 spot in the world tennis rankings, making her the highest-ranked Canadian in Women’s Tennis Association history. The 20-year-old jumped six spots, up from the No. 13 spot.
Glenn Wildenmann, a Kirkland resident who attended the meet at Westminister pool, said Bouchard was gracious and generous with her time, posing for photos with fans.
