The fact she beat Bouchard skews our opinion of her, I hope they meet many times this year.

It certainly doesn't hurt to have a perceived villain or antagonist to draw more eyeballs to a particular sport. At the risk of showing my age, I remember the original bad boy Ilie Nastase who was quickly followed by guys like Jimmy Connors and John McEnroe. In all three cases, they were able to back up their attitudes with their respective games. It may be too early in Coco's case to know if she can continue this fine play, but I don't mind the brashness.
