The start of something new? Eugenie Bouchard signs on for PPA Tour in 2024

The former world No. 5, who has contested one major main draw since 2020, is yet to comment on how pickleball impacts her WTA future.

Will we see Jack Sock and Eugenie Bouchard team up next year in mixed doubles? Maybe, but the possibility won’t come on the tennis court.

On Thursday, the Professional Pickleball Association (PPA) Tour announced that Bouchard had signed a contract to compete in 2024.

“Wimby finalist. Not bad @ppatour LFG!” reacted John Isner on Instagram.

Last week, Sock wrapped up his final US Open, having confirmed he was officially trading in a racquet for a paddle.

Bouchard recently fell in the second round of US Open qualifying to Dayana Yastremska over three sets on August 24. The defeat marked the fifth straight time the 2014 Wimbledon finalist was unable to punch a ticket into the main draw of a major tournament, with 2020 Roland Garros marking her only appearance across the past four seasons.

It's been more than 9 years since Bouchard picked up her lone WTA singles title.

Injuries derailed her for a significant amount of that period, with the Canadian sidelined for 17 months between 2021 and 2022 due to a right shoulder injury. The former world No. 5 has posted two-tour level victories this season.

While Bouchard has added pickleball to her 2024 calendar, she’s yet to comment on what this news means for her WTA future. The 29-year-old is currently ranked No. 215.
