Sydney: Canadian tennis player Eugenie Bouchard says she has learnt to take no notice of the "haters", revealing she has spoken with fellow young gun Nick Kyrgios on how to handle the intense scrutiny.
Bouchard has discussed the burden of expectations with the brash Kyrgios, tipped as a future Grand Slam champion but who has polarised opinion with his on-court antics. "Yeah, we have spoken about it a little bit. We just came to the conclusion that haters are going to hate and we weren't going to listen to them. It's really important to not listen to those people.
"Why would you not do something because of somebody else's opinion of you? Do you know what I mean? If you think about it, it's actually crazy. Why should I allow somebody else to dictate my life? That's Nick's attitude as well and I think that's really cool," she said.
