Eugenie Bouchard was born in Montreal in February 1994 and, with her twin sister Beatrice, named after the British princesses Eugenie and Beatrice. She won the Wimbledon girls' doubles in 2011 and the singles and doubles in 2012, the first Canadian, junior or senior, to win a major singles title. In 2014 she reached the semi-finals of the Australian and French Opens and the Wimbledon final, won her only WTA singles title at Nuremberg and rose to No. 5 in October. She added a WTA doubles title at Auckland in 2019 with Sofia Kenin, and in 2023 won both her doubles rubbers as Canada took its first Billie Jean King Cup. She began playing professional pickleball in 2024 and retired from tennis after the 2025 Canadian event in Montreal, where she lost to Belinda Bencic in three sets.

She and her twin sister were named after Princesses Eugenie and Beatrice. In the 2014 final, played as she tried to become the first Canadian to win a major singles title, the princess she was named after watched from the Royal Box. Petra Kvitova won 6-3, 6-0 in 55 minutes.

After she beat Kiki Bertens 6-0, 6-3 in the second round, the Channel 7 presenter Ian Cohen asked her on court to do a twirl and show off her pink outfit. She did, a little awkwardly. "It was very unexpected," she said later. "I don't know, an old guy asking you to twirl. It was funny."

During the Super Bowl she backed Atlanta. A student asked on Twitter whether, if the Patriots won, they could go on a date. She replied "Sure." New England came from 25 points down to win in overtime, and she kept her word with courtside seats at a Brooklyn Nets game. It was, she said, probably less awkward than dinner.

She chose her home city for her last tournament, entering the Canadian event on a wildcard in 2025. She won a round and then lost to Belinda Bencic, 17th seed, in three sets.
