Credit to Kucova though was extremely consistent and run down every ball playing like peak La Borz. She barely made errors in the third set and was hitting very deep.
Genie Was playing amazing tennis in the first set, same level she played against Cibulkova, but then... complete meltdown after being a break up in the second set and wasting BPs (in fact she wasted too many, 4/18 is just ).
Sad to see her go, she could have had a dream run here at her home town. Gotta control her temper more. Still good wins here against Safarova and Pome. Too bad again she couldnt maintain her level.
I got attacked by couple of Canadians when I said yesterdays Genie performance was freak of nature and I was proven right. She is a ok player and thats it

Genie = mess. Had it together, broke idk how many times in the 2nd set, broke in the third...but in the end, mentally she's going nowhere when she frustrates herself.
Bouchard had as good a draw as you could want to the semi. But being a big favorite in front of the home crowd is never easy
Big moment for Kucova. She looked happy!
Never seen a player more pumped up like her in that third set. She was celebrating every point like her life depended on it. Truly peaking out there. :lol: Good on her.
She reminds me of a mix of Bartoli (double handed on both sides) and Cetkovska (when playing well, as in that match against Wozniacki at the Us Open - runs down every ball and hits winners out of nowhere).
Genie's coach knew she was in trouble after the 1st set, he gave the same cheer leading pep talk that he gave to her in 2014 vs. Shelby Rogers. Again it didn't work ... what an ugly match she managed to turn it into as only Genie can do. A big opportunity missed with this match that was on her racket ... only 4/18 on BP's!
How many matches Bouchard has thrown away when things don't go her way?
The whole city/country/province was ready to fall in love with her once again but she preferred to act like the spoiled brat that she is, it needs to be said.

Regarding salt... To be honest, Genie's fans aren't like that... When Bencic beat her last year in Toronto they embraced her and supported Bencic all the way to the title... I know, I was there...
This result however, was not good... And never should have happened. Don't think it will make Kocova a villain there in the next round though.
