Bouchard, who now plays pickleball, was once ranked as the fifth best tennis player in the world.
But in her most recent Instagram post she ditched the racket and picked up the rake to set pulses racing with some “yard work”.
Bouchard sported a green bikini and nothing else as she tidied up the garden of her Miami home.
The Canadian star also posed for a picture on her sun lounger and shared a video of herself cooling off under the garden hose.

Bouchard once looked like she would conquer the world of tennis and even reached the Wimbledon final in 2014.
But injuries hampered her career and she is now focusing on work as a model, having not played in a tour-level event for 10 months.
Her success on the court helped her land endorsements and modelling deals with big brands such as Coca-Cola and IMG.
Bouchard reckons that tennis has only boosted her modelling career, with the sport offering her more “sex appeal”.

Speaking to Valeria Lipovetsky, she said: “Tennis first of all is a great sport for that sex appeal side.
“We’re wearing short skirts, we’re wearing tank tops. It’s fun to turn on the TV and watch that.
“Right away I was able to get great marketing deals off the court. Being asked to be in the Sports Illustrated Swimsuit Edition a few times.
“Exploring that path was definitely on my to-do list. It’s definitely part of who I am because I think it’s great.
“Why keep myself in a box? Why not try to become bigger, or better, or transcend tennis, or explore other fields? Tennis the only thing I know, but it can’t be the only thing I’ll ever do in my life.
“So I found it very interesting to be in the magazines or do fashion stuff and see that I really enjoyed these things as well.”
As well as her career in modelling, Bouchard has also tried her hand at punditry.
While she boasts over 2.3 MILLION followers on social media, where she shares her life with her adoring fans.
