MELBOURNE, Australia -- Montreals Eugenie Bouchard thinks about tennis all the
time -- even when shes relaxing.
Rod Gilbert Rangers Jersey . The 19-year-old
is preparing for the biggest match of her fledging career as she faces Ana
Ivanovic in the quarter-finals of the Australian Open on Tuesday. Bouchard,
whose WTA ranking is expected to rise as high as No. 21 after this tournament,
will face a tough test in Ivanovic, a former No. 1 and 2008 French Open
champion. Despite the daunting task, Bouchard has found some time to unwind.
"Right now Im watching Heart of Dixie on my computer," said Bouchard on Monday.
"But I do enjoy watching tennis at night, Of course, its tennis. But to me its
still watching as a fan, its entertaining. "I love tennis, its my life. So
thinking about tennis all the time is kind of what I do. I dont really try to
get away from it too much. Once in a while, yes -- but its my job." Bouchards
main task along with coach Nick Saviano will be to break down the game of
Ivanovic, who has not lost a match this season (9-0) and came to Melbourne with
the Auckland title to hand. The 14th-seeded Serb is fresh from her knockout of
top seed Serena Williams while Bouchard booked her place with a win over
Australian Casey Dellacqua 6-7 (5), 6-2, 6-0 to become the first Canadian woman
since Patricia Hy-Boulais at the 1992 U.S. Open to get this far at a major. "She
beat Serena so shes playing really well," Bouchard said of Ivanovic. "Im going
to look forward to a really tough battle. Were in the quarters now, so she
deserves to be there. No ones going to give it to me, so its going to be a good
match." Bouchard had a tune-up day on Monday as the second week began, teaming
with pick-up doubles partner Vera Dushevina against womens sixth seeds Cara
Black of Zimbabwe and Indias Sania Mirza in the third round. Bouchard and
Dushevina lost 6-4, 6-3. She did, however, make a strategic move and withdrew
from mixed doubles with Australian Sam Groth to conserve strength and focus for
the singles. Torontos Daniel Nestor and Serb partner Nenad Zimonjic bid for the
mens quarter-finals against the ninth-seeded team of Polands Marius Frystenberg
and Marcin Matkowski. Bouchard said that she is taking confidence into her match
with Ivanovic after beating her at Wimbledon last summer in a match suddenly
moved onto Centre Court. "I always expect a lot from myself. Every match I go on
the court believing I can win," said Bouchard. "Just take it one match at a
time. I just have a match in two days and Im just looking forward to that. "Ana
is playing really well right now and she has a lot of confidence; it will be a
really tough match."

Sampdoria drew 2-2 in a wild finish, while promoted Livorno stayed on the tails
of the Serie A leaders by earning a 0-0 draw at Genoa on Saturday. Playing in
Trieste due to stadium troubles in Sardinia, Cagliari was put in front by
Swedish midfielder Albin Ekdal in the 26th minute. That was the lone goal until
Manolo Gabbiadini equalized in the 89th when goalkeeper Michael Agazzi let the
ball trickle through his legs. Daniele Conti restored Cagliaris lead in the
first minute of added time with a splendid free kick and Gabbiadini scored again
with a deflection two minutes later. In Genoa, the closest either side came to
scoring came when Genoas Thomas Manfredini hit the crossbar with a header from a
free kick in the 76th.
Glenn Anderson Rangers Jersey. Livorno, which
finished third in Serie B last season, is just two points behind league leaders
Napoli and Roma. At Chievo Verona, Brazilian midfielder Maicosuel gave Udinese
the lead in the opening minute but Chievo struck back through Sergio Pellissier
in the 13th and Luca Rigoni in the 40th to win 2-1. Udineses attempt to equalize
fell short when defender Dusan Basta hit the crossbar with a long shot in the
72nd. On Sunday, Napolis perfect record will be put to the test at the San Siro
against AC Milan. Roma, which also has three wins in three matches, faces Lazio
in the capitals derby. And two-time defending champion Juventus hosts newly
