I swear the call on 13:35 was not right, that looked VERY in, maybe like the front half of the line if we're being tight on it. Regardless, doesn't have a whole lot of weight to the overall outcome. Somewhat cruised by to Semi's here.
Don’t want to diss on Genie, but Pickleball doesn’t play to her tennis style at all, she was a baseline player and is really lost at the net which is essential. She has a long way to go and maybe too late for her to ever become good at the net. I am surprised more by what seems a lack of fitness, seemed out of breath playing 25 minutes? Maybe she has been enjoying the beach and modelling more than training any more. Good luck to her as she seems to be a nice person though.
She just played qualifiers last week at National Bank WTA 1000 - she lost. She played an ITF tournament recently in FLA. She did well and went to semis but retired from heat exhaustion. She likely would have won that tournament. Pickleball is clearly a promotional contract because she was so popular in her day in tennis. She will go back to WTA but that is a tough grind
Why would you use two handed backhand on pickleball. It really bad for volley and shot selection. Its great for tennis but I see it as a disadvantage in this sport.
Bravo Catherine....belle leçon de pickleball.
Wait, is this the same Genie Bouchard the tennis player?!?

Genie looks like a borderline 4 now. She's improving for sure.
Bouchard was one of the most hated atlete on the WTA tour, look at the handshake at the end says a lot about her
No she's loved by everyone but this isn't really her game plus there's no money in it.

She should go back to tennis. It's too late to switch and there's no money in it. Guessing she's given up on tennis as she hasn't played at all.

Genie should not come in unless she has a good deep shot/return. CP beat Genie by placing the shots.
they need people to pickup the balls lolol

Genie really is limited in her skills etc. Just shows you take the power aspect away and she's dumbfounded
Screw tennis
