Missed this one as well but not surprised by it at all. Maria playing very well this year. Already had her scare so she can have a few matches of dominance. Bouchard is indeed very good and probably does have a slam or many slams in her future, but she does seem to be coming back down to earth for now. I mean, this his her 4th qf out of the last 5 slams and she only lost in the 4th round at the US Open. But still, she's not on top of the world like she was going into the final of Wimbledon. Got trounced and maybe lost some confidence or just lost the "it" that she had there for a bit. I mean, I guess if she had "it" then she's good enough to have it and can get it back, but ..... oh who am I kidding. I just don't like her. I'm imposing some weird thoughts on it all because I just don't like her. I'm a Sloane fan when it comes to these young girls and I'm annoyed she's not lived up to expectation and that Bouchard is the one that rises to the occasion and has a better attitude. Thrilled to see her beaten rather easily by Maria. She does seem to have come back down to Earth. But her Earth is probably still better than 96% of the WTA (and that includes Sloane until she proves otherwise. Rough draw here, so she gets a pass, but she better get it together the rest of the year.)
