Canada's Bouchard sets up semi-final clash with Sharapova


PARIS (Reuters) - Eugenie Bouchard won her leg of a possible Canadian double at the French Open on Tuesday, reaching the semi-finals by defeating Spain's Carla Suarez Navarro 7-6(4) 2-6 7-5.

Suarez Navarro, 25, squandered a 5-2 lead in the first set, caught by Bouchard's attacking play that sent her 163 cm (5ft 4 in) opponent scurrying across the baseline, unable to dominate with her trademark one-handed backhand.
