Remember when Canadian tennis player Genie Bouchard made a bet that the Atlanta Falcons would win the Super Bowl? And then a fan tweeted her asking if she’d go on a date with him if the Patriots ended up winning? And she said “sure”?
Well, the date’s really happened.
Just met my 'Super Bowl Twitter Date' John ?? On our way to the @BrooklynNets game! @punslayintwoods pic.twitter.com/DHRgY46smd

Bouchard, who was a 2014 Wimbledon finalist, went and gave us all a bit more of a peek into their date to watch the Brooklyn Nets play the Milwaukee Bucks.

And people reckon she got pretty lucky with who ended up as her date.

Twitter users also seemed to get a *bit* carried away about what could happen next.

The Nets lost the game 129-12 – let’s hope that’s not a bad omen.But whatever happens in the future, maybe we could all learn something from this date actually happening… if you don’t ask, you don’t get.
