LONDON -- Canadas Eugenie Bouchard advanced to the quarter-finals of Wimbledon on Monday after defeating Frances Alize Cornet 7-6 (5), 7-5.

The 2012 junior Wimbledon winner will next play the winner of a match between fifth seed Maria Sharapova and ninth seed Angelique Kerber of Germany. Sharapova defeated Bouchard in the French Open semifinal before going on to win the tournament. Bouchard won the last four games of the Centre Court match which was interrupted for less than an hour by rain, with the moveable roof being closed. The 20-year-old Canadian made the most of her return after trailing 3-2 in the first set, improving her Grand Slam record to 14-2. "Im really proud of how I fought," Bouchard said. "It was not an easy match. Shes a good player and gets a lot of balls back. "I tried to finish off the points, which I managed. It was my first time under the famous roof. Its quite humid, not a lot of air circulating. "Conditions were tough but they were the same for both of us." Bouchard won the opening set after nearly an hour of play with a backhand winner in the tiebreaker. She went down 4-2 and later 5-3 in the second set, but calmly levelled for 5-all, breaking when Cornet fired a forehand wide. Bouchard held serve to go up 6-5 and won the tight concluding game with another break of Cornet, advancing on the first match point when Cornet hit her forehand long. "Im very excited, but I need to stay focused," Bouchard said. "it can only be one march at a time. I need to keep from being distracted. "This what Ive world so hard for. I want to take another step, I want to keep going."

They helped turn around a team that started the 2014 campaign at 1-7 and ended at 9-9.Dinwiddie remains on the staff as an offensive assistant along with former quarterback Anthony Calvillo. Garcia left after the season.Schonerts official title last season was receivers coach, although he also had a hand in game planning. He helped Duron Carter and S.J. Green turn around slow starts and have productive years. Carteer was named a league all-star with 1,030 receiving yards while Green starred in the playoffs.ddddddddddddSchonert reportedly looked at NFL opportunities before opting to return.Turk played an important role in last seasons turnaround and we are thrilled to have him back with us, as this will allow us to have some consistency on offence, Higgins said in a statement. He has experience and is well liked by the players.We now have all the pieces of the puzzle in place and look forward to getting ready for what should be a promising season.Last season, it took until late in the winter for the coaching staff to be settled, and then offensive co-ordinator Rick Worman was fired during training camp.Schonert was a quarterback for nine NFL seasons from 1981 to 1989. He later held coaching jobs with Tampa Bay, Buffalo, Carolina, the New York Giants and New Orleans. ' ' ' |
