Canadian tennis star Eugenie Bouchard has honoured her promise to join a student for a date, after he won their Twitter wager during the Super Bowl. 

20-year-old Patriots fan John Goehrke tweeted Bouchard betting a date that his team would come from behind to triumph and she accepted.

The Patriots staged a terrific comeback to take the game and Bouchard stayed true to her word, flying the student to New York and taking him to the Nets game. 

Ms Bouchard, 22 tweeted a picture of herself and Mr Goehrke en route to the basketball game.

"Just met my 'Super Bowl Twitter Date' John. On our way to the @BrooklynNets game!" she wrote.

The evening ended with a kiss on the cheek and the promise of a second date.
