Live Kvitova vs Bouchard Wimbledon 2014 Final 5 July
Watch WIMBLEDON 2014 final Match Between Tennis Star Girl On 6 July 2014
Twenty-year-old Eugenie Bouchard upset No. 3 Simona Halep in straight sets 7-6, 6-2 at Wimbledon on Thursday to reach her first-ever Grand Slam final. It took six match points before Halep would yield to the No. 13 seed, but Bouchard's composure allowed her to become the first Canadian to reach a Grand Slam final.
"It was a little crazy. I've never really ended a match like that," she said. "Just really happy I kept my focus, didn't get distracted or anything and played well in the last game."
She'll face No. 6 Petra Kvitova in the finals.
Bouchard, seeded No. 13, was the only woman to reach the semifinals at both the Australian Open and the French Open, but she hadn't been able to take the next step until Thursday, which marked her first victory over a top-5 opponent. She relied on her trademark aggression and her big serve to see her through.
"I never say I'm surprised because I've put in a lot of hard work because it's been sort of years in the making. I believe in myself, and I expect good results, and I always want more. I've had a good start to the season, but I expect myself to do even better than that," she said, matter-of-factly.
