On the court, Genie Bouchard's fortunes took a tumble the past year. Off the court, Bouchard's brand continues to grow.

The soon-to-be 24-year-old Montreal native appears in the prestigious Sports Illustrated swimsuit edition for the second year in a row. After being an SI swimsuit model in 2017, Bouchard is joined by fellow tennis star Sloane Stephens -- the 2017 U.S. Open women's champion -- posing on beaches in Aruba this year.

Last year, SI referred to Bouchard as "Canadian cutie" and "blonde bombshell" when she posed in Turks & Caicos. She admitted that this year's shoot was easier than last year's.
"It was definitely easier! I was much less nervous this time around. I felt I had experience from my first SI shoot which helped me for this second one."
Bouchard, ranked 116th in the world, reached the quarterfinals in Taipei two weeks ago after losing in the second round at the Australian Open to world No.1 Simona Halep in mid-January. Overall she is 3-3 in match play over three tournaments in 2018.
She received more off-court attention recently with her Super Bowl date, a year after her famed Super Bowl bet.
