The 19-year-old Canadian Eugenie Bouchard has defied all odds to eliminate former World No. 1 Anna Ivanovic from the quarterfinals of the Australian Open. The teen sensation will now face LI Na in the next round to book a spot in a grand slam decider. She looked a champion in the making today as she clinched the last two set 7-5 6-2 and surprised everyone as she tore apart Ivanovic’s game in last few games. See you in the semi’s.
