It has been quite some time since Genie Bouchard decided to hang up her racket and switch to one of those passing fads that are gaining strong popularity in the United States: pickleball. What the Canadian surely didn't expect, however, was that this sport involved a greater risk than tennis. With a hint of irony, that's how Eugenie experienced it, having to go to the emergency room after receiving an unintentional ball hit from her partner, directly impacting her left eye and scratching her cornea. This is how Genie was left, in some truly unexpected images.
Got hit in the eye with a pickleball during training today. It was a shank off my partner’s paddle straight into the eye 😵💫 Went to urgent care and have a scratched cornea. The things we do for this sport! 🥒 Will be healed in a matter of days 🫶🏼 pic.twitter.com/65FpPJtmb0
