was eager to face in the Australian Open second round. The Canadian defeated Shuai Peng 6-2 6-1 in the first round and in press conference she said she felt in a better place than in the previous months: Im really enjoying it on the court, and I feel like I have done some good improvements in the last couple months, said Bouchard. I have been very solid in my matches last few tournaments.
Just enjoying the training and enjoying the matches. Thats the most important thing, because I have definitely had moments where I didnt enjoy it so much. So I have really loved being out there. Speaking of Serena, Bouchard spoke highly of her opponent and said: Im super excited.
This is why we play the big tournaments, to play the best players. I think she is the greatest ever. So its just so cool that Ill be able to share the court with her and an opportunity to see how I compare to one of the best players.
I mean, her ranking is top 20 right now, but to me shes always basically No. 1. I mean, I admire obviously the longevity of her career, her dominance over such a long amount of time, how shes come back so many times from injury, pregnancy, et cetera.
I mean, I dont want to talk about it too much and put her on too much of a pedestal because I have to play her in two days, but I love her. Bouchard, however, lost to Williams in straight sets 6-2, 6-2 on Thursday ALSO READ: Rafael Nadal: Worse players than David Ferrer won a Grand Slam title
