Eugenie Bouchard made her return to tennis at the Odlum Brown VanOpen and was given quite the surprise upon her arrival in Vancouver.
The 28-year-old was left searching for an explanation when her tournament credentials a photo of her in a swimsuit rather than the typically used headshot. The swimsuit picture was taken back in 2018 as part of Sports Illustrated's cover shoot.
However, the 2014 Wimbledon runner-up saw the funny side of the situation, taking to social media to post an image of the tournament pass.
"Can someone from @vanopentennis credential office explain pls??" Bouchard wrote on Instagram with a laughing emoji.
The former World No. 5, who became the first Canadian to advance to a singles Grand Slam final at Wimbledon in 2014, received a new pass with a new photo shortly after. Apparently, the VanOpen player credentialing office was pranking the Sports Illustrated Swimsuit Alum and had the new photo on standby.

- Players need to STOP TRYING TO JUSTIFY THEIR INCLUSION! They are not ambassadors for women in Saudi Arabia, they are not politicians, and they will never make a difference for females in that 'culture'. This little tennis "tournament" changes nothing. Players were lured by the money, opted to participate, and should just keep their predictable excuses and Women's Freedom Fairy Tales to themselves. Period. Like most things in Life -- one cannot make an argument relating to the Saudi Regime and, at the same time, triple your bank account with their "gifts".
