Genie Bouchard kept her word after the Atlanta Falcons lost the lead.
The Canadian tennis star and now swimsuit model sat courtside at a Brooklyn Nets game Wednesday night with a fan who asked her for a date on Twitter if the New England Patriots won the Super Bowl.
Bouchard tweeted during the Super Bowl that she knew the Falcons would win. A fan named John Goehrke, who later said he is from Chicago and attends school in Missouri, responded to her by writing "if patriots win we go on a date?" and she responded "Sure."
The Falcons then blew a 25-point lead as the Patriots rallied to win in overtime and Bouchard agreed to keep her word.
"Lesson learned," Bouchard tweeted at the time. "Never bet against Tom Brady."
