GlamSpinTennis had the pleasure of speaking with Genie Bouchard at the W Hotel at the Taste of Tennis NYC.  Genie looked amazing in a cute dress from Night Cap, available at Blue and Cream in NYC. Taste of Tennis is a tradition taking place in the days leading up to the US Open . The event pairs tennis fans with fine dining, cooking demonstrations, and tennis mega-stars. On the day of the event, the world discovered that Genie Bouchard was being coached by Jimmy Connors when they showed up on the US Open practice courts together. Jimmy Connors is a former ATP World No. 1, multiple slam winner, and the ex-coach of Andy Roddick and Maria Sharapova.  Genie said, "we were training elsewhere for a few weeks," to explain how she kept her new partnership with Jimmy under wraps.  She also confirmed that they did not color coordinate their practice attire.  Both were sporting lavender hues during her practice session, "I noticed that when we wer...

Nike went bold  colors for its ladies kits down under at the 2015 Australian Open.   The lucky ladies had their pick of pink and green outfits while battling it out in Melbourne.  Let's take a Closer Look : Petra Kvitova, Taylor Townsend, Sara Errani, and Roberta Vinci wore the same kit featuring a mix of cap sleeves and racer backs.  Vika Azarenka rocked a similar design in head-to-toe lime green.  Madison Keys and Genie Bouchard wore the same pink and green Maria Sharapova Collection separates.  For the top Nike Divas, it was all about that back .  Maria Sharapova Serena Williams

Happy 2015! Thank goodness the tennis season has begun! The nearly 2 week break was rough, wasn't it?  As we journey Down Under to the Australian Open, we have arrived at one of the best stops of the year in Western Australia - t he Hopman Cup .  When watching the Hopman Cup, don't you wish every tournament and slam had a mixed doubles tournament? GlamSpinTennis sure does.  Alas, other that this detour to Perth, we only get to see official mixed doubles pairings at the Olympic Games every 4 years.  Hopman Cup 2015 Superlatives: Most likely to be hometown heroes if they can make it to the final round : Team Australia - Casey Dellacqua & Matt Ebden Most excited to play in their first Hopman Cup : Team Czech -  Lucie Safarova & Adam Pavlasek Most likely to ride a win at the Hopman Cup to Australian Open victory :  Team Canada - Genie Bouchard & Vasek Pospisil Most awkward pairing/best rebound : Te...

A number of astute tennis fans have come down with Genie-mania .  Genie Bouchard is in the QF of the 2014 Australian Open, which is the furthest the 19-year old has ever gone at a major.  In addition to her talent, Genie's been blessed with good looks and a major title will likely knock her into the marketing superstar stratosphere currently occupied by Maria Sharapova .  Genie is rocking the Nike Maria Sharapova collection which also graced Madison Keys , the up-and-coming American teenager, at the tournament.  Maria also donned the same outfit with a different colored top two weeks ago during her run to the SF round in Sydney.  As you can see below, Genie is tucking her top while Maria and Madison wore their shirts out.  Madison and Maria also appear to have on shorter skorts while Genie's is at a more modest length.  Who wore it better?

This tennis off-season has been interminable. It seems like its been a 4 whole weeks since the ladies wrapped up in Istanbul and men said adios from London.  Thankfully, the Hopman Cup begins on December 28, 2013.  The Hopman Cup used to have the best trophy in all of tennis,  doling out diamond encrusted gold/silver tennis balls to the winning teams.  In 2014,  the tournament will be debuting a new trophy created by Solid Gold Diamonds. The trophy contains  just under an ounce of 18-carat white, yellow and rose gold  and is set with over 180 sparkling diamonds including half a carat of West Australia's world-renowned Argyle Pink Diamonds.
