Eugenie Bouchard became the first Canadian to reach the SF's of the Australian Open when she beats former French Open champion Ana Ivanovic 5-7 7-5 6-2 on Tuesday Jan 21,2014

       

 

Ana Ivanovic had stunned world number one Serena Williams in the fourth round and looked on course for a first grand slam semi-final since her 2008 Roland Garros triumph

 

The 19-year-old Bouchard, the first Canadian to reach the Australian Open semifinals, played with composure against former No. 1-ranked Ivanovic, who started the season with a title at Auckland, New Zealand, and produced a major upset to eliminate top-ranked Serena Williams in the fourth round

 
The WTA Tour's "Newcomer of the Year" in 2013, Bouchard is playing just her fourth Grand Slam tournament, having lost in the second rounds at the French Open and U.S. Open last year and reached the third round at Wimbledon — the only previous major where she'd managed back-to-back victories. The second of those was against Ivanovic, in straight sets — their only previous meeting
