MELBOURNE (Reuters) - Eugenie Bouchard was unable to match the semi-final appearance from her maiden Australian Open last year and will now focus on sorting out her coaching arrangements after being blasted off the court by Maria Sharapova on Tuesday.

The Canadian prospect was served another dose of grand slam heartbreak by the powerful Russian and headed quickly for the exit at Rod Laver Arena after losing 6-3 6-2 in a thoroughly one-sided quarter-final.
