Eugenie Bouchard, the tennis personality, has posted some startling photos revealing the aftermath of a recent intense cupping therapy session.
The tennis star, who has been absent from professional tennis since August, spends her time off the court playing pickleball to stay in shape.
Instead of focusing on tennis lately, Bouchard has been dedicating time to pickleball, which she uses to maintain her fitness levels.
The 31-year-old Canadian athlete is known to utilize various recovery and performance enhancement techniques, including cupping.
This traditional healing method, known for creating suction on the skin, visibly impacted Bouchard’s body, leaving it marked with circular bruises.
Bouchard shared a photo displaying the circular purple marks caused by the suction cups.
She commented on the photo, stating: “Cupping is no joke.”
Just last week, Bouchard celebrated her birthday, appearing glamorous in a stylish red dress.
Recently, she was chosen to participate in Major League Pickleball for the New Jersey 5s team.
This selection drew criticism from some fans, who suggested Bouchard’s fame, particularly on Instagram, played a role in her pick.
She responded to the criticism with a straightforward: “So who cares”.
Several weeks prior, Bouchard was hospitalized due to an unfortunate incident where she was struck in the eye by a pickleball.
This injury resulted in a scratched cornea, requiring her to wear an eye patch during the recovery period.
