Tennis glamour girl Eugenie Bouchard was left embarrassed after being asked to “twirl” by a reporter following her second round win over Kiki Bertens in the Australian Open on Wednesday.
Channel Seven reporter Ian Cohen asked the Canadian to “do a twirl and show us your outfit”, and while Bouchard seemed to take it in good nature, hundreds of outraged tennis fans have taken to Twitter to share their outrage.
Here’s just some of the reaction below:

Ian Cohen has defended asking Eugenie Bouchard to ‘do a twirl’ saying ‘it’s a question I would ask any 20 year-old blonde girl.’
