"I believe I deserve Girlfriend of the Century Award": Eugenie Bouchard turned down offer to hangout by Justin Bieber due to having a boyfriend

Canada’s tennis star Eugenie Bouchard has revealed that she was asked to hangout by famous singer Justin Bieber.

The 30-year-old has remained in the news, most than her performances on the court, largely because of her off-the-court activities.

Bouchard, while talking on a TV show recently, revealed that she was once asked by her icon Bieber to hang out after playing a charity match with him but she refused as she had a boyfriend back then.

"We played a tennis match for charity, and he asked me to hang out later,” she said. “but I had a boyfriend, so I said no. And I believe I deserve the Girlfriend of the Century Award."

Bouchard recently became the most high-profile player to openly announce that she will stay active, both in professional tennis and in pickleball as well.

The Montreal-born had a difficult time on the court recently as she has not played in a Grand Slam since 2020. Her last appearance in the main round of a major tournament was the French Open in 2020 where she was knocked out after losing in the third round to the current world number one in the women’s singles category — Poland’s Iga Swiatek — in straight sets with a score of 6-3, 6-2.
