“I’m not thinking about the past anymore – the good results, the bad results,” she insisted. “I’m tired of talking about it. I’m tired of thinking about it. For me it’s just about right now and looking forward and trying to be a better player. Trying to be a better player than I was at my best a couple of years ago because everyone improves with every year. So I don’t want to be how I was in 2014 – I need to be better than that right now.”

The future, particularly the immediate future looks bright and full of possibilities at this Australian Open. She plays the uber-erratic No. 35 Coco Vandeweghe on Friday for a spot in the round-of-16. That would likely be against top-seeded Angelique Kerber who has looked remarkably shaky in winning her first two matches in three sets. Beyond that there could be No. 7 Garbiñe Muguruza, who is carrying a leg injury issue, in the quarters and possibly No. 8 Svetlana Kuznetsova, No. 11 Elina Svitolina or No. 13 Venus Williams in the semifinals. None of those players would be beyond Bouchard’s reach given her current form.
