Rising star Genie Bouchard had as he 2014 objective to break in the top 20… well that has already been achieve so she needs to aim for more.
The semi-final at the Australian Open allowed her to be ranked world no.19 and now she has a clear shot at the top 10.
Bouchard about reaching the top 20 …
Genie said in Singapore “Early at the beginning of the year I said as a ranking goal I wanted to be in the top 20 so I have accomplished that,”
“So now I need to change my goals, of course it’s all about consistency as well and staying in the top 20 and getting to a certain level and staying there.”
…and her Australian Open
Then she added “Yeah I had a good experience at the Australian Open this year, I played really well and am happy with how it went but of course I’m never happy when I lose a match so disappointed with that but really happy to get the experience,
“I’d never played a tournament longer than a week before so still being in the same tournament 10 days after it started was new to me and really interesting so I hope I can experience that many more times.
“It gave me more self-confidence and showed me that I belong at the top level and that I can play against great players and play well and keep my composure on big courts as well. I played three matches on Rod Laver and it was such a good experience.”
