2. Eugenie Bouchard beats Ana Ivanovic in the quarterfinals
Canada’s rising star Eugenie Bouchard outclassed Serena Williams’s conqueror, the Serbian Ana Ivanovic, in three sets, to become the first Canadian woman to reach the semifinals of a Grand Slam event.
The WTA Newcomer of the Year 2013 continued her dream run and won the battle between the two beauties, in a repeat of their Wimbledon 2012 meeting. Ivanovic ran out of steam and lost 7-5, 5-7, 2-6 in the match.
“She’s definitely brave. She’s young and has nothing to lose. I think she’s a very great player with a bright future,” Ivanovic said of her opponent.
Eugenie, meanwhile, a huge hit among local fans and her “Genie-Army”, continues to impress on the court, and also off it.
