Sam Querrey, the former Wimbledon finalist, is once again teasing a follow-up to his viral copycat rendition of Eugenie Bouchard’s backyard-bikini photo shoot. Querrey, who has a massive online presence with 2.4 million Instagram followers, has been known to poke fun at Bouchard’s penchant for posing in barely-there bikinis.
After his first effort drew a thumbs-up from Bianca Andreescu, Leylah Fernandez, and Reilly Opelka, plus a plethora of tennis fans, Querrey decided to ask the masses if they wanted to see a sequel based off of Bouchard’s newest content.
“Should I do it?” he polled his followers, while holding what appeared to be a white-and-floral-patterned bikini bottom.
The muse herself, though, is not ready for the follow-up.
“Oh God, pls [please] no,” she joked as she reposted Querrey into her own Instagram story.
But whether or not Querrey follows through on his promise, Bouchard won’t just be starring on social media this summer.
In the last week, it was announced that the Canadian was given a wild card to the qualifying tournament at the upcoming WTA 1000 tournament in Toronto. She’ll play in either the main draw or qualifying of her country’s flagship tournament for the 14th time, but hasn’t featured in the main draw since 2019.
Bouchard has only played two professional tennis tournaments this year as she continues to balance her touring career with one in professional pickleball. She reached the quarterfinals of an ITF World Tennis Tour event in Zephyrhills, Fla. in May, and played doubles this week at the WTA 500 Mubadala Citi DC Open with Sloane Stephens, where they lost in Tuesday’s first round.
