That ending was a better cliff hanger than the ending of avengers: infinity war.

Dude this is the best ending to a video I've ever seen 😂

Finally someone gives Sharapova credit for her professional balancing act and focus on tennis

The biggest problem is Genie's game, she's a hit and miss player, she's either on fire or she's missing everything, she doesn't have a plan B. the best tennis players are able to win when their game is not good, when they are having a bad day.

Ok that was the coolest ending to a video I’ve ever seen

A major cause of the downfall is it didn't take too long for the tour to figure out her game and make adjustments. Once that happened, she never added anything to her style and stubbornly refused to change anything or alter anything to counter the opponents. When numerous coaches tried to get her to become more intelligent out there, she either "parted ways" with them or they got disgusted with her lack of flexibility and her know-it-all attitude. The truth is her game became ineffective quickly and once she started losing (the video is correct, it began way before the fall,) she lost the motivation to change and lacked the maturity of an adult to change her attitude. This all coincided with her emerging internet celebrity status which is much easier to manage than being a dedicated professional athlete. Genie is ranked #120 today on the computer and can't get into any event without qualifying or getting a wild card. Her credibility as an athlete has not been there for years. Those who say she'll make a resurgence as a serious tennis player are living a pipe-dream.

People that don’t watch the whole video are missing out on a crazy plot twist

When Genie was in interviews during that Grand Slam run and she would say ‘I work hard so I expect to win’, I knew the success had gone to her head. Great video!!

You were too kind in this video. She had ONE good season and got caught up in her own hype. She was disrespectful to other players. Her game wasn't that great. And she's still losing in 1st rounds at 250 tournaments.

Ya know, I really get annoyed when ppl diss on Kournikova for her good looks and (comparative) lack of success on the singles circuit. Look at her doubles career, she legit was a really good player.

Me: Ok time to go to sleep. Let me just refresh YouTube one more time Cult Tennis: Allow me to introduce my self

Me throughout video: o k Me 10 seconds towards the end: W T F

I dont watch or play tennis but did you really miss the opportunity to call this video "How Genie bouchared her career"?

11:16 The greatest cliff hanger of all time

Damn, that ending caught me off guard

I binged literally all of your videos yesterday. Now I get to watch a new one.

"Beloved'? Didn't everyone hate her? She was so obnoxious. Plus, over a year later from when this video was posted she is not even in the Top 100 and is continuing to go down in the rankings. She's done.

Bouchard isn’t even really like kournikova as kourikova was still a consistent top 20 player who had plenty of success in doubles, reaching number 1

As a Canadian who follows tennis closely, I am glad you mentioned the 2014 Wimbledon Final. At the start of that year, she was around 29th in the world, and buoyed by Genie's Army she had great confidence. But also had glaring weaknesses in her game notably her second serve and, as was mentioned, a single dimensionality to her game. Other top players had more tools and greater skills but commentators like Chris Everett felt she had great mental toughness which made up for her lackings. That final expose all her glaring weaknesses. I remember telling a friend my assessment of her was like this: Pretend there was a book called "How to Beat Genie Bouchard." At the start of the year, it was the size of a pamphlet--after Wimbledon, it was the size of Mitt Romney Binders. Every professional tennis player in the world watches that final. She was then required to overhaul her game. As for the mental toughness, it was easy to say when things we going so well. But mental toughness needs to kick in when things are going badly. Things were actually starting to go better for Genie a bit (I think she should be where this all started in the top 32 in the world) and then the stupid injury happened. Still, I wish her well.
