Eugenie Bouchard Recalls Her ‘Cuddling Moment’ With Serena Williams
Eugenie Bouchard has revealed that she had a cuddling moment with top-ranked female tennis athlete Serena Williams. Bouchard said Williams unknowingly snuggled up with her inside the locker room at the 2014 Wimbledon Championships.
Speaking with TVA Sports, the Canadian French language media channel, Bouchard was asked about a story about the four Grand Slam tournaments that she hasn't told anyone yet. According to Bouchard, she and Williams had been cuddle buddies in the locker room.
Bouchard recalled it was raining ahead of her fourth-round match against Williams during the Wimbledon Champoionship. The rising Canadian star, who finished the season ranked fifth in the world, said she decided to stay in the locker room and just listen to music.
Bouchard said Williams walked in. They were just minding their own business and listening to their choice of songs when she saw Williams had already fallen asleep. Bouchard said Williams had fallen asleep really close to her. "It was like she was sleeping with me," Bouchard recalled.
Even the biggest sport personalities and other celebrities get weak in the knees when they see a famous celebrity for the first time. Bouchard was starstruck to see the World No. 1 sleeping real close to her. Bouchard added that when Williams woke up, the 18-time Grand Slam champion told her that she always loves to cuddle. In fact, Williams said she has always wanted to have a cuddling moment with the 19-year-old Canadian tennis star. "It was a really funny moment, and we had a match in an hour, so it was pretty bizarre," Bouchard lamented.
In a report by Yahoo Sports, it has been said that Bouchard may be referring to third round matches and not the fourth-round match. Bouchard must've just reportedly lost track of days.
