MELBOURNE, Australia -- Montreals Eugenie Bouchard thinks about tennis all the time -- even when shes relaxing. The 19-year-old is preparing for the biggest match of her fledging career as she faces Ana Ivanovic in the quarter-finals of the Australian Open on Tuesday. Bouchard, whose WTA ranking is expected to rise as high as No. 21 after this tournament, will face a tough test in Ivanovic, a former No. 1 and 2008 French Open champion. Despite the daunting task, Bouchard has found some time to unwind. "Right now Im watching Heart of Dixie on my computer," said Bouchard on Monday. "But I do enjoy watching tennis at night, Of course, its tennis. But to me its still watching as a fan, its entertaining. "I love tennis, its my life. So thinking about tennis all the time is kind of what I do. I dont really try to get away from it too much. Once in a while, yes -- but its my job." Bouchards main task along with coach Nick Saviano will be to break down the game of Ivanovic, who has not lost a match this season (9-0) and came to Melbourne with the Auckland title to hand. The 14th-seeded Serb is fresh from her knockout of top seed Serena Williams while Bouchard booked her place with a win over Australian Casey Dellacqua 6-7 (5), 6-2, 6-0 to become the first Canadian woman since Patricia Hy-Boulais at the 1992 U.S. Open to get this far at a major. "She beat Serena so shes playing really well," Bouchard said of Ivanovic. "Im going to look forward to a really tough battle. Were in the quarters now, so she deserves to be there. No ones going to give it to me, so its going to be a good match." Bouchard had a tune-up day on Monday as the second week began, teaming with pick-up doubles partner Vera Dushevina against womens sixth seeds Cara Black of Zimbabwe and Indias Sania Mirza in the third round. Bouchard and Dushevina lost 6-4, 6-3. She did, however, make a strategic move and withdrew from mixed doubles with Australian Sam Groth to conserve strength and focus for the singles. Torontos Daniel Nestor and Serb partner Nenad Zimonjic bid for the mens quarter-finals against the ninth-seeded team of Polands Marius Frystenberg and Marcin Matkowski. Bouchard said that she is taking confidence into her match with Ivanovic after beating her at Wimbledon last summer in a match suddenly moved onto Centre Court. "I always expect a lot from myself. Every match I go on the court believing I can win," said Bouchard. "Just take it one match at a time. I just have a match in two days and Im just looking forward to that. "Ana is playing really well right now and she has a lot of confidence; it will be a really tough match." Jim Kelly Jersey . The effort paid off once they got back home.

Dan Carpenter Bills Jersey . Lowry joined TSN 1050 on Monday to discuss his personal growth, what was going through his mind on his final second drive and whether his future plans include staying in Toronto. “That last play will be my summertime grind,” Lowry said of his final shot which was blocked by Paul Pierce in the lane as time expired.(Sports Network) - The Boston Red Sox shoot for their fifth straight win this afternoon, as they get back to the American League portion of their schedule with the first of three games against the Toronto Blue Jays at Fenway Park. The Red Sox completed their interleague slate this weekend by completing a three-game sweep of the hapless Houston Astros. On Sunday, Kevin Youkilis bases-loaded walk in the top of the ninth forced in the deciding run, lifting Boston to a 2-1 win. Jacoby Ellsbury notched a pair of hits and Drew Sutton scored the deciding run for the Red Sox, while Josh Beckett (7-3) fanned a season-high 11 batters over eight solid innings, in which he allowed five hits and one run. Jonathan Papelbon turned in a scoreless ninth with three strikeouts to post his 17th save. Ellsbury and Beckett, along with Adrian Gonzalez and David Ortiz, were named to the AL All-Star team on Sunday. Today the Red Sox turn to struggling right-hander John Lackey, who has lost his last two starts. Lackey lost in Philadelphia on Wednesday, allowing two runs and eight hits in 7 2/3 innings, as he fell to 5-7 on the year to go along with a 6.81 ERA. Lackey beat the Blue Jays back on June 11, but is 5-6 lifetime against them with a 5.12 ERA in 17 starts. Toronto, meanwhile, got a big day from its All-Star representative on Sunday to salvage the finale of its three-game set with the Phillies. Jose&nnbsp;Bautista hit one of three Blue Jay home runs in the eighth inning off of Cliff Lee, propelling his team to a 7-4 win.dddddddddddd It was the major league-leading 27th home run for Bautista, who prior to the game was named a starting outfielder for the AL in this years All-Star Game, as he received more votes than any player in the game. Jo-Jo Reyes settled down after giving up four runs in the second inning and kept it close long enough for Octavio Dotel (2-1) to earn the win in relief. Dotel recorded the final five outs to snap Torontos three-game slide. "We could have come in flat, could have come in knowing we were going up against a guy throwing 30-plus scoreless innings...but we chipped away and felt a little momentum," Blue Jays manager John Farrell said. "I think today was an example of the competitiveness that we continue to show." Getting the call for the Jays this afternoon will be hard-throwing right- hander Brandon Morrow, who is 4-4 with a 4.56 ERA. Morrow defeated the Pittsburgh Pirates on Wednesday, as he allowed a run and four hits in seven innings and struck out a season-high 10 batters. He has fanned 91 batters in 75 innings this season. Morrow was on the wrong end of the decision against Lackey and the Red Sox four starts ago and is 0-2 in 12 games (four starts) with a 9.00 ERA. Boston has won six of nine against the Blue Jays this season. wholesale jerseys Cheap NFL Jerseys ' ' '
