As the second week of Wimbledon unfolds, two former grass-court stars, Eugenie Bouchard and Sam Querrey, have engaged in a playful Instagram photo shoot that has delighted the internet.
Bouchard, the 2014 Wimbledon finalist, sparked the fun with a series of outdoor photos in a gold-chained green string bikini. She captioned the post, "Sundays are for yard work," as she posed on a lawn chair, held a garden hose, and raked leaves.
Querrey, the 2017 Wimbledon semifinalist, was inspired by Bouchard's post and decided to create his own photo montage. With his wife and children away on vacation, he had ample time to don a green swimsuit and mimic Bouchard's poses, complete with garden-hose water pressure.
The results were a viral sensation, with fans, current, and former tennis players alike expressing their amusement. Reilly Opelka commented, "This went platinum," while Bianca Andreescu and Leylah Fernandez couldn't contain their laughter. Andreescu simply added, "OMG."
Querrey credited PPA pro Wes Burrows for his artistic direction, saying he "did a stunning job of finding my good angles." Bouchard responded with good humor, saying, "Let's do a joint photo shoot next time."
The playful exchange between Bouchard and Querrey highlights their camaraderie and the lighthearted spirit that exists within the tennis community. It also serves as a reminder that even the most accomplished athletes can find joy in the simplest of things.
