Eugenie Bouchard knows exactly what she's doing

Life's a beach for Genie, who cares about hemlines and backhands.

Published Jan 06, 2015

For Eugenie Bouchard, life's a beach. Truly. She offers to all who are watching—namely everyone—that she keeps finding herself on sands around the globe. She seems to love it that way. So do her fans, for that matter, for various reasons, some tame and some not so much. Witness this admittedly "short" number sported on the beach for the world's No. 6 player at her press preview for the Hopman Cup:

Wearing a bit more fabric this time, she also sought to rival Serena Williams in the players-party attire department in Perth:

Bouchard soon found herself caring more about backhands than hemlines, though, going out and besting Williams by a 6-2, 6-1 score in Hopman Cup competition. That after a tame, 6-0, 6-4 loss in her opener to Lucie Safarova, a player Bouchard should beat more often than not.

And that wasn't the only winner Genie granted us:
