TENNIS star Eugenie Bouchard was left speechless after being questioned about her FOOT SIZE while on a flight.

The 29-year-old took to Instagram while on the plane to share the story of her journey with fans.

She commented: “This guy next to me on my flight just asked what shoe size I am.”

Bouchard then posted an image of her shoes – which were blue New Balance trainers – with a caption that read: “The shoes in question.”

She then joked: “I know I have big feet but the shoes make them look bigger for sure.”

The Montreal-born tennis ace is a former Wimbledon finalist and two-time Grand Slam Semi-finalist.

She crashed out of this year’s Wimbledon in the preliminary qualifiers following a 6-4, 7-5 defeat to Greet Minnen.

Bouchard is now ranked No.218 in the world following a series of injuries to her shoulder, foot and knee.

But she is determined to bounce back and has taken inspiration from British star Andy Murray.

Earlier this month, she said: “Andy’s playing challengers and he’s winning them, which is great. It makes you miss those big moments.

“Every year that goes by puts the results that I’ve achieved in the past into more perspective because I see how hard it was.

“My knee has been hurting me since last year but I’m trying to just take it as part of my job.

“I had a couple of years really recently when I wasn’t able to play due to shoulder surgery.

“There’s moments in rehab when the end goal is so far away that it feels hard to keep going. Of course you have tough moments.”
