Script:

SOUNDBITE (English) Eugenie Bouchard, beat Carla Suarez Navarro 7-6 (7-4) 2-6 7-5:
(Q. Regarding Sharapova, how are your relations with her on the tour? And also, you said that you started playing tennis when you saw her winning at Wimbledon, but now you are in the semis facing her)

"You know, we're not friends, so there is that. Yeah, of course as a child I looked up to her and I remember watching her in the finals of Wimbledon and, you know, thought what she was doing was so cool and I wanted to do the same thing. For sure I respect her. But now, you know, we're in the semis of a Grand Slam, so I'm going to respect her, but not put her too high on a pedestal and really just battle. That's what it's going to be. I will leave everything on court and just focus on myself and try my best to win."
