Former Wimbledon finalist Eugenie Bouchard has spilled the beans on her fitness routine and diet which has helped her in keeping a lean and athletic figure.
Bouchard had a spectacular year in 2014, reaching the semifinals at the Australian and the French Open and advancing through to her maiden and only Grand Slam final at Wimbledon. On the back of those results, she attained her career high rank of World No. 5 in the official WTA rankings. However, since then the Canadian has suffered an irreversible slide down the rankings and is currently ranked No. 82 in the world.
Despite her disastrous form on the women’s circuit, Genie as she is known to fans is quite popular among the youngsters because of her good looks and her stunning Instagram photographs.
Speaking to Self Magazine, Eugenie confessed she wasn’t a cooking person and relies heavily on having small meals between regular intervals all through the day.
She said: “I always have my energy bars and energy gels [on hand]. And bananas, definitely. All tennis players eat like five bananas a day.”
“I’m not a cooking person, so there’s not much in the fridge. On the rare occasion that I do cook, I make myself breakfast. Eggs are my go-to in the morning for some protein. Orange juice as well. You have to start your day off with that.”
“Even sleep is part of my job because I need a certain number of hours of sleep to be able to train at the intensity that I do,” Bouchard says. “I’m constantly working to keep my body in the best possible shape.”
On being asked who would be the one celebrity, she would like to have dinner with, Bouchard replied: “This is an impossible question. How do you pick just one? Someone that I’m really inspired by, and that I look up to, is Oprah. It’s amazing how she created such an empire. I love those inspiring stories. I would just ask her what it was like and what she would say to herself to keep believing or keep going when times are tough.”
