Выставил утверждения агента Эжени Сэм Дювалл.

Агент Эжени, Сэм Дювалл, который работает с ней уже 6 лет, считает что Эжени может быть самой известной теннисисткой в мире и будет получать больше денег чем Мария Шарапова.

Sam Duvall, who has worked with her for six years, said she ticked all the boxes.

Duvall told Fairfax Media he believes she can surpass Sharapova, who earned a reported $29 million in prize money, endorsements and appearance fees in the 12 months to last June, as the most marketable female athlete on the planet.

"Marketability-wise, I think she can be the most famous tennis player in the world," Duvall said. "She´s got the personality, she´s got the game, she´s got the looks. She speaks two languages (French and English) and the crossover appeal is great.

"Aussie fans love her, French fans love her... I think she is very rare, let´s put it that way. I really think she has the ability to be more marketable than Maria."

Her agent Sam Duvall, who has worked with Bouchard since she was 13, believes the teenager has the potential to become the face of the sport.

''Marketability-wise, I think she can be the most famous tennis player in the world,'' Duvall said.

''She's got the personality, she's got the game, she's got the looks. She speaks two languages [French and English] and the crossover appeal is great. Aussie fans love her, French fans love her … I think she is very rare, let's put it that way.

''I really think she has the ability to be more marketable than Maria [Sharapova]. She speaks the two languages where the four grand slams are played. Maria was Genie's idol when she was younger but now they're competitors.

''But if Maria is the bar, Genie has the ability to exceed that bar. She has to perform on the court to do that, and Genie knows that. Maria has won four slams. Her marketability, if she [Bouchard] performs, I have to say is better than anyone on tour. She is the total package. It's unbelievable how focused this girl is.''
