Eugenie Bouchard (32) could not hide her displeasure at an opponent's unsportsmanlike conduct during a pickleball match, refusing to exchange greetings after the game.

The UK's 'The Sun' reported on the 14th (Korean time), "Bouchard engaged in a tense standoff against Maria Fodor at the PPA Tour Beolia Chicago Cup."

According to the outlet, the conflict stemmed from the loud shouts Fodor let out on the court. Fodor let out near-screaming noises every time she scored against Bouchard. She even yelled during foul situations, provoking her opponent.

Bouchard visibly showed irritation at Fodor's loud voice throughout the match. Ultimately, Bouchard refused the customary handshake of touching rackets at the net after the game ended. He completely ignored Fodor and left the court, a scene that quickly spread through social media (SNS).

Fans criticized Fodor's excessive yelling and supported Bouchard. Fans raised their voices, saying, "I love pickleball, but it's becoming increasingly difficult to watch," "The unreasonable screaming and exaggerated behavior have crossed the line," and "Yelling when an opponent makes a mistake is a lack of basic courtesy."

One fan joked about Bouchard's refusal to greet, saying it was "as if she were saying 'Absolutely not, I can't stand you,'" while another fan remarked sharply, "Is this pickleball or a yelling contest?"

Bouchard, who previously reached world No. 5 in tennis rankings and advanced to the Wimbledon final, has recently transitioned to playing pickleball. Pickleball is a new racket sport combining elements of tennis, badminton, and table tennis, and has recently gained significant popularity, particularly in North America.

Bouchard joined the UK's BBC Wimbledon broadcast team this summer, sharing behind-the-scenes studio photos to connect with fans. After completing her commentary schedule, she also shared updates from her vacation spot, showing off her 178cm, eight-head-proportioned figure in a bikini.

Additionally, Bouchard recently sparked buzz through social media (SNS) with a lighthearted incident pointing out colleague Carlos AlKARA's revealing outfit. During the US Open last September, when AlKARA appeared wearing a see-through sleeveless top, she joked, "I love AlKARA, but he needs to cover his nipples." Later, when AlKARA wore an undershirt for his next match, Bouchard shared the photo and responded, "He listened to me."
