Bouchard topples no. 2 seed Jankovic to make Family Circle Cup semi
Canada’s top woman Eugenie Bouchard has qualified for the semifinal of the Family Circle Cup, beating tournament no. 2 seed and former World no 1., Serbian Jelena Jankovic.
The 20-year-old, seeded no. 6 in the tournament won in three sets, 6-3, 4-6, 6-3. She served two aces and broke Jankovic six times in the two hour and two minute match. Jankovic is the WTA no. 8 at the moment.

She is having a stellar year so far, reaching the semis of the Australian Open in January, eventually falling to China’s Li Na.
Bouchard’s match was the first quarterfinal of the day, with the rest, and ultimately her next opponent, playing later.
