Bouchard follows through on Super Bowl bet, goes on date with Patriots fan
NEW YORK — Eugenie Bouchard is not one to welch on a bet.
The tennis star from Westmount, Que., went on a date with New England Patriots fan John Goehrke on Wednesday night after the two agreed to a bet over Twitter during Super Bowl 51.
Bouchard had tweeted that she “knew Atlanta would win” with the Falcons holding a big lead over the Patriots during the NFL’s championship game. The fan then asked her to go on a date if the Patriots somehow ended up winning and in what must have seemed like a low-risk reply, Bouchard said, “sure.”
After New England came back to win 34-28 in overtime she tweeted: “Lesson learned. Never bet against Tom Brady.”
