Sam Querrey might have been green with envy — so he did as Eugenie Bouchard did.
Early this week, the Canadian-born tennis and pickleball player Bouchard turned heads with a photoshoot in which she was wearing, you guessed it, a green bikini while working in a yard.
“Sundays are for yard work,” she captioned her Instagram post as she raked leaves and sprayed a water hose.
Well, Querrey, a former U.S. tennis star who retired in 2022 and current pickleball player, did his own version of the photo series, making the same exact poses out in a yard but topless and in a green bathing suit.
“How’d I do @geniebouchard? @si_swimsuit I await your call,” he wrote in his caption.
Not only did Bouchard seemingly love the pictures, but she commented on the Instagram post with a call to action.
“Let’s do a joint photo shoot next time,” she wrote.
On her Instagram Story, she shared the photos of Querrey a few times, writing in one post: “Screaming, crying throwing up” all in capital letters.
She then added that Querrey is her “fav person on the planet!!!!!”
Social media seemed to get a kick out of Querrey’s photos, with tennis player Alison Riske-Amritraj commenting on the main post: “Wrong kini,” in jest.
Querrey won 10 career singles titles and ranked as high as No. 11 in the world in the ATP rankings during his career that saw him win 385 matches before his retirement in 2022.
He then joined pickleball’s PPA Tour — which Bouchard is now part of — in 2023.
Bouchard said in January she is not retiring from tennis but adding pickleball as another endeavor to her athletic career.
But that didn’t mean the former No. 5-ranked WTA player wasn’t nervous for her first PPA tournament in January.
“I’m like that kid going to a new school who goes to the cafeteria and doesn’t have any friends or know where anything is,” Bouchard told ESPN then. “I’m completely nervous. I’m a wreck. I am nervous for playing, of course, because this is so new to me.
“But beyond that, I’m definitely anxious a little bit and wondering what it’s going to be like walking around a tournament or a locker room.”
