Eugenie Bouchard is a well-known face on the tennis scene.
The Canadian tennis player has taken a break from the WTA Tour and devoted herself to pickleball and the PPA Tour.
In an interview with The Kitchen Pickleball, the experienced tennis player drew a parallel between tennis and pickleball, emphasizing the demands of both sports.
Many tennis players who have gone through tennis can easily adapt, and the 31-year-old believes that Coco Gauff could be in the top 5 of pickleball in about eight months.
The demands of playing doubles
Bouchard further emphasized the difficulty of playing doubles, stressing that she is not sure if Gauff would be so dominant there and if she could be in the top 5. The competition in pickleball is obviously strong and it is really difficult to match some players.
According to her opinion, it is necessary to go through a year of work, adapt to the sport itself and only then show your qualities.
However, it is difficult to expect that Coco Gauff or any top tennis player will lightly leave tennis and devote herself to pickleball, considering that this sport is still developing and could only show its full potential in the coming years.
Gauff is focused on her future in the world of tennis, hoping to one day occupy the very top of the WTA list and win many Grand Slam titles.
