The most famous moment of their association came at Wimbledon 2019. In Kyrgios’ infamous match with Rafael Nadal, Bouchard was supporting him from his player’s box. However, the match was not too good for Nick. He had an ugly confrontation with the chair umpire that continued throughout the match.

However, his temper was not appreciable with him even resorting to an underarm serve. This earned him a lot of derision from the fans who blasted him for his disrespectful attitude. However, Bouchard was one of the few who supported him. She defended his serve saying that it didn’t go against the rules.
To be honest, Kyrgios is most probably dating Russian tennis player Anna Kalinskaya. The two have been spotted together multiple times. However, there’s nothing wrong for tennis fans to entertain themselves for the time being.
