Eugenie Bouchard has been part of some controversies over the years. Even as her tennis form has come down tremendously in the past few years, it is difficult for her to not be a part of the news.
A great part of that is attributed to her straight forward attitude and amazing looks. Be it her ugly spat with Maria Sharapova or her “fatphobic” Instagram post, people have constantly talked about Eugenie Bouchard. However, the weirdest controversy that she has been a part of is about her name.
Her first name “Eugenie” is a French name. However, she often calls herself Genie which leads many to raise questions about her identity. This has been a source of some controversy over the years.
Why is there a controversy about the name of Eugenie Bouchard?
The Canadian star Eugenie Bouchard was born in the predominantly French-speaking town of Quebec in Montreal. However, English is her first language.
More than that, Bouchard moved to Miami, Florida at the age of 12. Despite that, she remains a Canadian National and represents the country. However, sections of the media in Montreal have been highly critical of Bouchard for not being French enough.
“The day when all Quebecers will culturally look like the great Genie and will, like her, switch from French to English, Quebec will simply not exist anymore. It will be a North American region amongst others,” – columnist Mathieu Bock-Cote wrote for the Journal De Montreal.
They have used her identity as a Montreal resident to bash her for her seemingly “American” ways. Many sections of this media have also called her arrogant and ignorant. However, this does not seem to be the dominant opinion.
Most of her Canadian fans seem to agree that the language she speaks or the way she pronounces her name has no impact on her affinity with the Canadian nation. She still remains the first Canadian player to reach the Wimbledon finals. This is all that matters as long as Eugenie Bouchard continues to call herself a proud resident of Montreal, Canada.

Bouchard shared with her 2.1m followers that her online ID is 'bouchard_vpro' and called on fellow PlayStation users to add her. According to the tennis player's Instagram Story, fans initially had an issue trying to add her PSN handle. But Bouchard said she had fixed the issue in her Story, with over 100 PlayStation users already following her online profile. The tennis beaut would later upload a video claiming that her PS4 had crashed due to the massive influx of friend requests she received. "Too many of y'all added me that my PlayStation crashed and I had to, like, restart it, so thanks," Bouchard said.

Bouchard recently took part in a virtual tennis tournament and was trolled online after losing three matches in a row. But she was clearly in no mood to mess around on the weekend after savagely trolling a fan. On Sunday, Bouchard alluded to her schedule being out of whack during the lockdown. Bouchard sent out a tweet saying she wanted: ‘Dominoes for breakfast.” However, one fan responded with a photo and asked what she thinks of his new haircut, which he cut by himself in isolation.

The 26 year old Bouchard created a screenshot of her newly-created dating profile on Instagram, with the caption, “I make bomb mini quesadillas”. In a sponsored post, Bouchard said that she was matching with people in Canada and asked her followers to download the app and match with her. Earlier during the quarantine, the Canadian posted an update on her social media that the quarantine period would be a lot more fun with a boyfriend. She received several responses and had to ask her followers to stop sending her resumes to her agent. Bouchard is currently ranked No. 332 in the world but continues to remain one of the most popular athletes in the sport. She spent the lockdown period in Las Vegas and also went back to the courts after the restrictions were eased in the region.
