If you've been following former ATP tennis pro and current Carvana PPA Tour player Sam Querrey on social media this summer, you might've noticed that he's been racking up the Instagram likes by taking a page out of Eugenie Bouchard's playbook in humorous fashion.

The muse herself is a big fan, too.

There are many celebrities who'd take exception to the American's online antics, which have seen him good-naturedly mock the 2014 Wimbledon finalist's penchant for wearing barely-there bikinis by posing in skimpy swimwear of his own. But not Bouchard. In fact, in a recent interview with Baseline's Stephanie Livaudais, the Canadian said she "literally started screaming" with laughter when she saw Querrey's first copycat post.

She not only dubbed the homage "pure gold," but said that the former ATP world No. 11 is "the funniest person in the world."

"I see him on tour at some of the pickleball tournaments, and he is just a riot," Bouchard said. "I cannot believe he did that. He is just so funny. I just I had no words … I— the poses were the same, the outfits, the props, the hose, he had everything.

"I don't know how much time he spent on that. Probably way too much time. He probably should have been looking after his kids a little more. But you know what? We'll take it, because that was just pure gold."

If Querrey has his way, there's more where that came from. Bouchard recently hit send on one of her most viral Instagram posts of the year, with photos and videos of her playing tennis in Saint Tropez while wearing a colorful two-piece bathing suit racking up nearly 75,000 likes on the photo-sharing platform. Querrey already teased a follow-up in response to the fresh material as he continues his recovery from Achilles surgery that sidelined him from PPA action.

Bouchard's already looking forward to the sequel, and she doubled down on a promise to team up with Querrey in a joint photo shoot.

"Whenever he's back, I'm definitely going to force him to do it," she said. "I know he's gonna want to as well. He probably wants it more than me. We'll make it happen."

We'll be waiting.
