Bouchard blasts painted tennis balls for Coca-Cola

It's not every day that a pro tennis player is actually asked to spray his or her shots everywhere. But that's just the request that Eugenie Bouchard fielded when she agreed to guest in a new spot for Diet Coke:

In the otherwise lily-white clip, produced by Coca-Cola Canada, Bouchard blasts paint-laden tennis balls against a pristine facade until it's plastered with hues the likes of fuchsia and hot magenta. Her patented groundstroke motions also lead to tasteful splatters appearing on her clean and proper Nike best.

The backdrop's exterior layer falls to reveal a visually appealing, Coke-bottle-shaped piece—and it turns out that 200 actual bottles just like it will be made available, custom-created with Bouchard's blessing.

Drinking soda: It's art!
