Eugenie Bouchard on Serena Williams’ Serve
Serena Williams and Eugenie Bouchard have played against each other four times with Serena winning three of those matches. Their limited meetings were enough for Genie to appreciate the American’s serve. In a recent podcast, she said, “I would definitely pick Serena’s serve. It gets her out of trouble so many times, it’s possibly the best shot in tennis. It obviously has the power but also, the disguise to have placement. When I played against her, she tosses it up and you have no idea where that thing is going.”
