Bouchard pays off Super Bowl bet, agrees to second date

Eugenie Bouchard had a wonderful Twitter date with John in Brooklyn, however the Nets lose to the Bucks. Giannis Antetokounmpo scored 33 points in the win.

NEW YORK – Eugenie Bouchard is not one to welch on a bet.

Bouchard, from Westmount, Que., went on a date with New England Patriots fan John Goehrke on Wednesday night after the two agreed to a bet over Twitter during Super Bowl 51.

Bouchard had tweeted that she "knew Atlanta would win" with the Falcons holding a big lead over the Patriots during the NFL’s championship game. The fan then asked her to go on a date if the Patriots somehow ended up winning and in what must have seemed like a low-risk reply, Bouchard said, "sure."

After New England came back to win 34-28 in overtime she tweeted: "Lesson learned. Never bet against Tom Brady."

On Wednesday, Bouchard followed through on the bet and tweeted a photo of the two of them in the backseat of a car.

Bouchard later posted a video of her and her date sitting courtside as the Nets hosted the Milwaukee Bucks. After the game, both Bouchard and Goehrke agree there’d be a second date.

Bouchard is ranked 42nd in the world. Earlier on Wednesday she announced that she would be included in Sports Illustrated’s annual swimsuit edition.
