Nothing is normal in sports these days and quarantine has exacted a toll on the dating world as well. Eugenie Bouchard recently hosted a discussion on loneliness during social distancing and how virtual dates can help. http://instagram.com/p/CAi7VFUp3Rt The 2014 Wimbledon finalist partnered with Bumble Canada to talk about the new realities of distanced dating alongside Bianca Sparacino, Jasmyn Ellis and Nicole Hodges. The 26-year-old is not only talking about dating but she's also dipping her feet in the water. She agreed to go on a virtual date with comedian Bob Menery from the Zapped Podcast after he donated a significant amount to her COVID-19 relief fund. http://instagram.com/p/CAQTCyQpyEI "My mind is on Genie Bouchard. I've been talking about shooting my shot with her for a long time," Menery said. "Now, I might have paid $4,000 to COVID-19 relief efforts to secure the date, but boys, anyway you can get it done, you get it done." http://instagram.com/p/B_24g_tJ__Y Turns out the sports podcast comedian really knows how to get the job done. The 32-year-old came prepared and even had roses for the Canadian. MENERY: "I had to. These are for you, I know you can't accept them right now because obviously through quarantine and what we're dealing with but yeah." BOUCHARD: "That's really nice, but you know to get it one step further, I think you could have had them sent to my house. MENERY: "Oh, you're that kind of girl."

The Canadian agreed to go on a virtual date with comedian Bob Menery following a series of requests from him during an Instagram Live interview of Bouchard by Allie LaForce. Menery agreed to donated $4,000 to charity in exchange for a date with Bouchard, and the pair had their virtual first date last week. On top of that and as part of her "All-In Challenge," Bouchard auctioned off dinner and a trip to a tennis tournament, with the winning bidder having to pay $85,000 to accompany her, with donations raising money for organizations providing relief during the coronavirus pandemic. And although her fans were clamoring for word on when the second date would be, the 26-year-old is both playing it cool and looking forward to a date with Menery in person. "Calm down guys! You can't act too eager," she told CNN Sport's Amanda Davies in an Instagram Live chat. "You have to play it cool. "Maybe I'll say I'm busy, give it say another week, even though we have nothing to do." "I agreed to a live date so when things are possible and somehow our schedules overlap, we will go on a second date, but a first real date. We'll see where that goes."

'A waste of time' While social media has its positive side, Bouchard acknowledges that negative comments directed at prominent figures are commonplace. She is an active social media user herself. In fact, she took to Twitter last month to complain that quarantine "would be a lot more fun with a boyfriend." But the 2014 Wimbledon finalist calls the negative comments that she receives "tough," and advises others to look for the positives that social media has to offer. "There's a lot of positive out there," Bouchard -- who calls reading the negative comments "a waste of time" -- said. "And I realize that everybody has haters. "It means you stood up for something in your life, it means you've done something in your life. "Try to take it as a reverse-compliment and just realize it's someone who maybe has their own issues or is mean or negative and you shouldn't worry about someone like that. You shouldn't worry about their opinion, so I really try to take a step back from it and not take it personally." http://instagram.com/p/CAvjVuMpVci As a 26-year-old, Bouchard says many of her peers are active on social media, after growing up with Facebook and with Twitter and Instagram arriving a little later, which makes the questions she gets from people about why she is so active online surprising to her. "It's only natural for someone my age to be active on social media. Why it is such a big deal? "I think the most important thing is to not hate back. To accept it for what it is and understand that it's more of a reflection of them and how they're feeling and not that you're a horrible person. It's hard because there's so much negativity out there." http://instagram.com/p/B_5iYDwpTyZ

Fresh from his break-up with Russian tennis player Anna Kalinskaya, Kyrgios posted the photo of Bouchard on his Instagram story on Thursday night. The photo shows Bouchard and sister Charlotte sitting in Kyrgios’ box at the All England Club, one row behind Kyrgios’ father. Bouchard’s presence in Kyrgios’ box sent the rumour mill into overdrive at the time, however nothing came of it. She even hit back at a number of fans who criticised Kyrgios for serving underarm in the match. “It has nothing to do with lack of respect. It’s literally just a different way to hit a serve,” she said at the time.
