MELBOURNE, Australia -- Two of Canadas rising tennis stars are into the second round of the Australian Open as Eugenie Bouchard and Vasek Pospisil each scored opening-day victories. Montreals Bouchard survived a scare from a 431st-ranked challenger from China, scoring a 7-5, 6-1 victory over Chen Tang Hao. Vancouvers Pospisil, who is seeded 28th, eliminated Australian Sam Groth with a 6-4, 6-3, 6-4 win. Bouchard, the 30th seed, rode a roller-coaster in the one-hour opening set after earning a 3-1 lead, only to lose it a game later on a double-fault. Bouchard, recently named The Canadian Press female athlete of the year, was broken again to drop to 3-4 as Tang rifled back a return winner before holding for a 5-3 lead. Bouchard saved set points in the ensuing game on Tang errors before finally earning a 7-5 win on a break. The 19-year-old Bouchard was more in control in the second set and dominated to win the 6-1. "It was tough but I fought and got through it," Bouchard said. "I didnt play the way I really wanted, but it was good to win one like this. "It was really fun, I had some good support, it was good atmosphere," said Bouchard, who admitted struggling the 35-degree heat. "It was hotter than past few days, tough for both of us," she said. "Its strange training at one temperature (around 25 C on Sunday) and playing in something completely different. But no complaints, it was the same for both of us." She said she needed to be mindful of the hot sun. "Im big on sunscreen and hydration, especially the night before," said Bouchard. I did a good job of it and was fine. Id rather play tennis in the sun than do anything else anyway." Pospisil, 23, was never troubled by Groth and appears to have overcome a back problem which bothered him this month in India and Sydney. In the second round, Pospisil will face another Australian in Matthew Ebden, who beat Nicolas Mahut of France 6-3, 7-5, 4-6, 0-6, 6-3. Pospisil said that while he did not feel at 100 per cent, he played well. "I played surprising well, I was not expecting to play like this," he said. "I wasnt feeling that great and only played points the day before, I didnt have much preparation. "But I returned and served well, overall I did fine." "I didnt feel any fatigue, I was playing relaxed because of my back," he added. "I dont anticipate any problems in the next round but Im glad I didnt have to go five sets." Pospisil overcame 16 aces from his opponent, firing six of his own and breaking on four of 10 chances. He scored 31 winners and 17 unforced errors. The Canadian earned the break he needed in the seventh game of the opening set and in the final game of the match on the Groth double-fault. Chris Clemons Womens Jersey .

Barcelona hosts third-division side Cartagena in the return leg of their round-of-32 tie after winning their first meeting 4-1.OTTAWA -- Following an 8-0 drubbing at the hands of the Grand Rapids Griffins on Friday, the Hamilton Bulldogs were in desperate need of not only a good performance, but a win to get the bad taste out of their mouths. They got the performance and the "W" Sunday afternoon with a 5-2 win over the Binghamton Senators in Ottawa. Frederic St. Denis had a goal and an assist while Alexander Avtsin had three assists in front of 8,427 fans at Scotiabank Place, the home of Binghamtons NHL parent club, the Ottawa Senators. Louis Leblanc, Andreas Engqvist, Joonas Nattinen and Brian Wilksie also scored for the Bulldogs (6-7-1), while Joe Callahan chipped in with two assists. "It was a big win for us after we got beat pretty hard the last game," Leblanc said. "We just stuck to the game plan and things were clicking." Patrick Wiercioch and Jim OBrien supplied the offence for the Senators (5-9-2), who were outshot 33-18. "(Hamilton) bounced back and we knew theyd have a good effort, and they did," said Binghamton head coach Kurt Kleinendorst. "But I dont think were going to win if we only have a couple of guys playing up to their potential. Its not going to cut it." Both teams occupy the basement of their respective divisions. Hamilton is in last in the North Division but managed to jump a point past Binghamton in the overall standings. The Senators are last in the East Division having lost seven in a row. The Bulldogs came into the third period with a comfortable 3-1 lead and quickly increased that to 4-1 on Engqvists third of the season.dddddddddddd Less than 40 seconds later, OBrien scored to cut the lead to 4-2, but Leblanc erased any thoughts of a comeback when he restored the Bulldogs three-goal lead at 5:07. "We were pretty confident and we had a good start," said Leblanc. "Everybody did their role." The Bulldogs had the only goal of the first period and that came as the teams skated four-on-four. Willsie picked the corner over Robin Lehners shoulder in the Binghamton goal. Hamilton went up 3-0 in the second period on goals from Nattinen and St. Denis before Wiercioch finally got the Senators on the board at 15:59 on the power play. The Senators only had 10 shots through the first two periods and Kleinendorst could count on one hand the players he thought had a good game. "I can probably count them on three fingers," Kleinendorst said. "Lets see, (David) Dziurzynski I thought played well. (Mark) Borowiecki I think played well. You know what, after that I dont know if I could give you a third guy." Notes: The Senators have allowed five in a game twice this season and not surprisingly have lost both times They are 0-7-0 when allowing three goals but 1-0-0 when allowing four...The Bulldogs are a perfect 6-0-0 when leading after two periods and 2-1-0 when scoring five goals in a game.
