Script:

SOUNDBITE: (English) Eugenie Bouchard, Lost to Maria Sharapova 4-6, 7-5, 6-2 (Q: Even though you lost today, it was really a close match and you could have won the match. You reached the semis two Grand Slams in a row. So now do you feel you belong to top five or maybe you deserve more than your ranking?):

"I have this, self belief in myself. I definitely feel like I can play with the best girls in the game and I.... think.... still have a ways to go, but I'm on the way to, becoming a better player than I am today hopefully. That's always the goal, is to try get better and, with tournaments like these and matches like these, it gives me more confidence and at the same time motivates me to work harder, but, I feel like.... yes, I'm definitely taking steps in the right direction to become, what my dreams and what I want to achieve."
