Eugenie Bouchard is still pretty much in love with Justin Bieber despite all the troubles he has been through as of late. In fact, Genie even thinks the Canadian pop star deserves a second chance, believing he will eventually grow up.

Bouchard, who is a self-professed Belieber fan, has no plans of withdrawing her support for Bieber. The Canadian tennis sensation has been very vocal about her admiration of the Baby singer since she revealed the identity of her crush on National TV at the Australian Open 2014.

Genie is aware of the growing concerns for liking a wrong guy, who has been synonymous to troubles and outrageous public stunts. However, it seems that Beiber's bad boy image hasn't turned off the 20-year old Canadian beauty.

"I think he has a really inspiring story and I think it's really cool how he came from a really small town and became the world's biggest superstar. He's been in some trouble, but everyone deserves a second chance; I'm sure he'll mature," Bouchard said in a recent interview.

Bouchard has been one of the most fast-rising stars in tennis today, reaching the semifinal round of the first Grand Slams of 2014 (Australian, French and Wimbledon Open). She also placed runner-up to Petra Kvitova at the Wimbledon and booked a spot at the WTA Tour Finals after reaching a career-high no.5 in the world rankings.

In spite parting ways with tennis legend Nick Saviano, Bouchard is expected to soar even higher next year, as she looks to lean on a strong 2014 showing and capitalize on the growing popularity she has achieved in a short span.

The Canadian recently signed a deal with global agency IMG, who also handles modeling ventures of Serena Williams, Maria Sharapova, Pete Sampras and other big stars.  

"I am really excited about joining WME-IMG, a company that is in the best possible position to help me achieve my business goals and maximize the value of my brand," Bouchard said of her inclusion to the IMG family.

"Genie's unique combination of talent, mental fortitude and charisma make her the type of athlete who transcends sport; and the unparalleled opportunities and partnerships across WME-IMG in areas including tennis, marketing and modelling will help ensure she reaches a new level of global success," WME-IMG CEO Patrick Whitesell stated.
