Ex pro tennis player strips down to tiny bikini in steamy SI Swim throwback

For the “2026 is the new 2016” social media trend, former professional tennis player Eugenie Bouchard had an easy pick of pics. For the stunning athlete, 2016 was the year she appeared in the iconic Sports Illustrated swimsuit issue.

And she looked absolutely stunning in a strappy orange bikini with a very skimpy rearview.

“2016: lots of bikinis, selfies, & one very bad decision (swipe to end),” she captioned the Thursday, January 15 Instagram share. The 14-image carousel post was packed with bikini pics — and also selfies with Justin Trudeau and Celine Dion. (The last photo she referred to in the caption showed the tennis player with half her head shaved.)

“How did all of these happen in 2016 😂,” asked one commenter.

“🤣🤣 strappy bikini is so 2016 coreeeee,” said another.

“I Love You More. Than Yesterday,” raved a third.

“The sideshave was iconic !!! ☺️💕,” added a fourth.

“Jesus try not to break the internet,” begged a fifth.
