Eugenie Bouchard: tennis' hottest property
There's no doubt that Eugenie Bouchard's star is on the rise and if you believe her manager, Canada's teen tennis sensation is destined for riches.
For in the eyes of Sam Duvall, his prodigy has got it all - talent, personality, a brain and stunning looks.
As Bouchard enjoyed her best grand slam run at the Australian Open, Duvall heaped more pressure on the 19-year-old by arguing she's more marketable than Maria Sharapova. What do you think?

At the end of the 2013 season, she was named the WTA Newcomer of the Year.
Her giant killing run at the Aussie Open included the scalp of Casey Dellacqua.
She speaks both English and French.
"The crossover appeal is great. Aussie fans love her, French fans love her," Duvall said.
Indeed, Bouchard seems to have made an impact on many fans.
As for her loves, she said her ultimate date would be with Justin Bieber.
It's also true that she could be likened to Maria Sharapova. (Getty)
