Bouchard tours Yale, considers enrolling right now

The 22-year-old is making up for missing out on the college exper

Published Aug 24, 2016

In New Haven, Eugenie Bouchard took a private tour of the Yale campus with senior Caroline Lynch. The two strolled the campus grounds, exploring libraries, classrooms and dorms. In the end, the 22-year-old Canadian was so impressed, she was tempted to quit tennis for a normal college life.

"It’s cool for me to see what university life is like," Bouchard said. "It kind of shows me the life I never got tot live. It's a bit sad in a way to see how cool [it is] and everything is so cute too... It makes me want to quit tennis and go to Yale right now."

Bouchard obviously turned down college for the pro tour, and her comparison of Yale to what she's seen in the movies was a naive and adorable moment.

Back on court in New Haven, the world No. 40  will need all the luck she can get from rubbing the lucky Yale statue toe when she faces Petra Kvitova on Wednesday.
