Genie Bouchard Paying Off Super Bowl Date Bet

Props to tennis star Genie Bouchard ... who's paying off the Super Bowl bet she made with a fan by GOING ON A DATE WITH THE GUY!

Back when the Falcons were up big on the Patriots, Bouchard bet a Pats fan that she would go on a date with him if the Pats came back and won.

They did.

Moments ago, Bouchard met up with the guy in Brooklyn -- where they're going to the Nets game together!

Earlier Wednesday, Bouchard said she's a woman of her word -- and hoped the whole thing wouldn't be too awkward.

Good luck!
