Several superstar athletes have made their way to France for the 2024 Paris Olympic Games.

And with their athleticism and stylish fashions, they’re turning up the heat — in more ways than one.

To cope with the heat, Canadian Olympian and tennis star Eugenie Bouchard came up with a quick solution. In some images shared to Instagram, Bouchard is seen playing tennis in St. Tropez, wearing a visor, a New Balance crop top, and the lower half of a bikini.

In a video featured in the carousel, she plays tennis, presumably against fellow tennis player Sam Querrey. After posting the photos, Querrey took to his Instagram story, holding the swimsuit half, with a poll asking “Should I?” He’s seemingly asking if he should be the next one to don a bikini bottom in a tennis match.
