Some tone-deafness on the part of the WTA Tour Twitter account this week, as it promoted Genie Bouchard – and linked to an April photo shoot – the very week the 24-year-old Canadian takes to the ITF circuit at Cagnes-sur-Mer, France.
A year ago in Madrid, Bouchard upset Maria Sharapova in arguably one of the matches of the year for its intensity and drama.
But that was a year ago. So it was just grist for the haters’ mill.
It might do Bouchard good to watch the video, though, before her first match in France. She was pumped.
