Eugenie Bouchard advances to semifinals at Sydney International
SYDNEY, Australia — Canadian tennis star Eugenie Bouchard continues her strong start to the year.
The Westmount, Que., native defeated Anastasia Pavlyuchenkova 6-2, 6-3 in the quarter-finals at the Sydney International on Wednesday.
Bouchard had a breakout season in 2014, reaching the semifinals at the Australian Open and French Open before making the final at Wimbledon. But she has only gone past the fourth round at a major once since then and slipped to No. 46 at the end of last year.
“I feel more and more confident every day,” Bouchard said. “I feel like I’m getting back into the rhythm of things a little bit, but it’s a long road.”
