Eugenie Bouchard says she is finding unusually hot weather in London more difficult than expected after arriving for Wimbledon-related work with the BBC. Multiple reports say the former tennis player, a former Wimbledon finalist, posted about the conditions on social media soon after getting to the UK, describing the experience as feeling like “an episode of Survivor” and inviting followers to speculate on why the heat feels harder in London than in Canada.
Other coverage frames the comments in the context of her return to the All England Club, where she is not competing but working as a commentator. The reports note that Bouchard’s first appearance at SW19 since retiring from professional tennis last year comes during a heatwave that is coinciding with the grass-court tournament. One outlet also says she typically spends much of her time in Miami, which may be part of why she finds London’s temperatures challenging.
Overall, the sources agree that Bouchard’s comments center on struggling with the heat while preparing for her BBC Wimbledon 2026 debut.
