Genie Bouchard burned by Patriots' Super Bowl comeback

Canadian tennis star Genie Bouchard learned a lesson in counting her chickens before they hatch this Super Bowl Sunday. 

Lesson learned. Never bet against Tom Brady 😇

— @geniebouchard

It all started when she was a bit too confident that the Atlanta Falcons would win the NFL title game after taking a big lead.

I knew Atlanta would win btw

An opportunistic and optimistic fan looked at the odds and decided to lay it on the table by asking the star for a date via Twitter. 

@geniebouchard if patriots win we go on a date?

— @punslayintwoods

Perhaps feeling overconfident in the Falcons, or maybe some daze and confusion caused by Lady Gaga’s whirlwind halftime show, but Bouchard replied with “Sure.”

Sure https://t.co/4W763IHkgB

And then we all know what happened next: the Patriots staged a huge comeback to win the Super Bowl.

So…where do you live? https://t.co/mfucQ0C9VL

— @geniebouchard

So is the date going to happen? Inquiring minds want to know!

@punslayintwoods Hope you’ve got some ideas in place for where you’re gonna take @geniebouchard out. What’s your favourite restaurant? 😛

Or perhaps a better question:

@nickprice92 @geniebouchard more important question is what’s hers?

— @punslayintwoods

Agreed:

@punslayintwoods @nickprice92 @geniebouchard aaaah! A true gentleman! 👌🏻
