Melbourne: Eugenie Bouchard said she wanted to forget her troubled past and look to the future as her return to form gathered pace with an impressive win at the Australian Open. The 22-year-old beat Chinese Peng Shuai to win 7-6 (7/5), 6-2 and reach the third round.
"I feel like I'm playing well and I could have chances," she said of her early-season form, adding that she had learned important lessons over the past few years. "I have learned a lot about the ups and downs of tennis, that is how life goes sometimes. I have learned how to better handle the pressure," Bouchard said.
