It's part of it, but not the whole thing.

You can find some of it here, in French

http://quebec.huffingtonpost.ca/2015/05/26/rejean-tremblay-eugenie-bouchard-petite-baveuse-reputation_n_7442722.html

In short, she received the Athlete of the Year award and has rarely if ever acknowledged it. She plays hard to get with Canadian journalists, treating them as any other media. There's also the whole connotation that her parents are turning their backs on their own culture; someone with a last name like Bouchard who lives in Montreal yet speaks French slightly better than Harper speaks French is always weird. Her official website also had no French version; she insists on being called 'Genie', aka 'Genius' for your regular francophone. Her mother apparently even calls the French media when they spell her name Eugénie rather than Eugenie . To add to the assimilation picture, all the Bouchard children are specifically named in honor of the British monarchy.

It's not her fault, but at some point her (already rich) father came into a contractual agreement with another tennis player parent and incorporated a tennis business solely based on her future earnings while she was a minor to avoid taxes. The courts eventually voided that.

To each their own but it's not very surprising that she's starting to get backlash from fans who, only on name recognition, were happy to have finally found a home-grown tennis star. Since neither her or her family play 'nice' off-court, most fans are turned off.

Dans le Journal de Montréal

Big surprise...

There's also the whole connotation that her parents are turning their backs on their own culture; someone with a last name like Bouchard who lives in Montreal yet speaks French slightly better than Harper speaks French is always weird.

I mean... initially when I read her name I thought she'd speak French, then I found out she didn't and that was that. I don't see why this is a big deal or even remotely important.

she insists on being called 'Genie', aka 'Genius' for your regular francophone.

I'm pretty sure this stems from the English pronunciation of her name. I don't think she's going around telling people to call her "genius"

Some people aren't happy with her and that's fine but I'm not sure I'd say she's not very well liked. At least, it seems to me that it's for the same reasons as everyone else with the handshake and what appears to be a bit of a snobby attitude.

That said, I don't really know her as a person and I just hope her tennis can improve and she can bring some success to tennis in Canada. She's still very young and has a lot to learn and maybe sometime she does things that are a bit silly but I think people's reactions are way overblown.

Last year people were way too obsessed with her success and now people are way too obsessed with her troubles.

Think for a minute about how pedantic it is for a girl named Bouchard, from Westmount, who will barely give an interview in French (or English), to have her mother call the media to correct the accent on her name.

Think of how pedantic of a father you have that he sees your earnings as a) a potential source of income for himself and b) a way to skip taxes. When you're 12!

Think of how pedantic it is to name your children after the British monarchy in Quebec.

Think of how pedantic it is not to shake your opponent's hand in a tennis match.

You might not think it's a big deal that she doesn't speak French like a native, but for some it does. It's a sign of English assimilation in your own province. She could be smart and deal with her image here, but she prefers to not deal with it and look for fame elsewhere. It's her choice, but you can't really expect the fans in Quebec to go wild about her PR strategy.

I'm not really sure what you mean by pedantic in this context but

Think for a minute about how pedantic it is for a girl named Bouchard, from Westmount, who will barely give an interview in French (or English), to have her mother call the media to correct the accent on her name.

She's called Eugenie not Eugénie. I don't see what's wrong with wanting to have her name spelled correctly.

Think of how pedantic it is to name your children after the British monarchy in Quebec.

I mean... so what? Plenty of people are called William or Elizabeth or Victoria and they're from Quebec. Why should anyone be making anything of this? There's more than just French in Quebec.

At the risk of repeating myself, there's more than just French speaking people in Quebec, particularly in Montreal. It seems to me like there's a community of people taking offense just because they can.

She's already on billboards and big ads in the Eaton Center in Montreal so she's doing her thing with PR.

I agree that she could do more if she really wanted to but I just don't see what the big deal is about. It seems to me like it's the media just fishing for stories. I'm not saying she's perfect and you have some other points that I can agree with but if people are being turned off by the fact that she's not French speaking and she has an English name then that's their problem.
