Bouchard now matches the result from her only other appearance at the US Open, when she reached the second round last year. She’s also the only Canadian woman left in the draw after Sharon Fichman and Aleksandra Wozniak lost their opening round matches yesterday. Bouchard now has a potentially tricky second-round match against Sorana Cirstea of Romania.

She lies in the same quarter of the draw as No. 3 seed Petra Kvitova of Czech Republic, who has historically struggled at the US Open. With Bouchard being the only player on tour, man or woman, to reach at least the semifinals at all the Grand Slams this year, she will have a real shot at continuing that trend this fortnight if she can keep up the level of play she displayed today against Govortsova.
