Sports fans enjoyed watching Genie Bouchard on TV this summer and plenty have also enjoyed her latest Instagram update.
The Canadian was a new addition to the BBC’s coverage of Wimbledon. A former runner-up in the women’s singles, Bouchard has since moved into broadcasting and was regularly on camera at SW19.
She decided to unwind, taking a trip to Lake Como after the Championships. The 32-year-old shared some bikini snaps on Instagram as she took a swim – not the first time her Instagram posts have attracted attention – and captioned the images: “Never say no to Como”.

“That water had to feel cold !!!” former World No.1 Caroline Wozniacki wrote under the post. However, one fan said: “She is so hot so cold water or not doesn’t matter”.
A number of other fans were blown away by the photos. One called her “too gorgeous” while another simply wrote “perfection”.
Bouchard was dubbed the “Queen of Wimbledon” by fans after her BBC appearances this year. She certainly made an impression with viewers as part of a freshened-up BBC team in south-west London.

The Montreal-born star is fluent in French and English. However, her trip to Italy may raise eyebrows given her struggles with the language when covering Matteo Berrettini in action at Wimbledon.
“Unfortunately only English and French I can do for you guys.” Bouchard said when asked by commentator Andrew Castle whether she could translate conversations Italian pro Berrettini was having behind her. She apologised to her fellow broadcaster and joked about it being a firing offence.
“That’s it, thank you for coming, you’re fired.” Castle joked, prompting Bouchard to reply: “It was a good run, thank you for having me anyway. I’ll just see myself out.”
Despite retiring from professional tennis in 2025, the former World No.5 returned to the court at Wimbledon this year. She was part of an invitational doubles tournament, partnering Anett Kontaveit.
