Eugenie Bouchard of Canada celebrates defeating Casey Dellacqua of Australia in their women's singles match at the Australian Open in Melbourne on Jan. 19. Eugenie Bouchard became the first Canadian in 22 years to reach the quarter-finals of a Grand Slam on Sunday by beating Casey Dellacqua 6-7 (5-7), 6-2, 6-0 at the Australian Open. The 19-year-old from Montreal is the first Canadian since Patricia Hy-Boulais at the 1992 US Open to get this far at a major. “I’m feeling a lot of support from Canada,” said Bouchard, who ended with six aces, 28 winners and six breaks of serve. “I’m excited to keep going and getting better. I tried to stay calm after the first set and focus on what I have to do in the point. I felt I started to play well. I stayed in the moment after a shaky first set and felt pretty good out there.”
