Eugenie Bouchard's team brought a plum cake for her on the occasion of Christmas, a gesture that overwhelmed the tennis star.
The Canadian, who did not skip practice on December 25, is currently in Dubai, where she participated in the inaugural edition of the World Tennis League exhibition tournament. She was part of Team Kites, the other members of the team being World No. 1 Iga Swiatek, Felix Auger-Aliassime, Sania Mirza, and the new sensation Holger Rune.
The Kites ended up at the top of the table after the league stage but lost in the finals against Team Hawks, consisting of Alexander Zverev, Dominic Thiem, Elena Rybakina, and Anastasia Pavlyuchenkova. Bouchard got to play one match as she teamed up with Rune and went down 6-2, 6-3 against Nick Kyrgios and Bianca Andreescu of Team Eagles on Day 1.
The 28-year-old has stayed back in Dubai to prepare for next season. On Sunday, she took to social media to post a video of herself unpacking a plum cake on the tennis court after her practice session.
"My Dubai fam got me a plum cake for Christmas after practice," Bouchard wrote.

She posted another story while relaxing at the beach after practice and stated that she had never experienced a Christmas like this one.
"Never had Christmas like this before," she added.
Bouchard suffered a serious shoulder injury at the start of the 2021 season and was forced to stay away from the action for 17 months. She returned to the tennis court in August this year and ended her season with the WTA 125 Dow Tennis Classic in Midland in November. Her win-loss record for the season stands at 6-9. The 2014 Wimbledon finalist is currently placed in the 326th position in the WTA rankings.

- 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".
