LONDON (Reuters) - Marriage proposals, broken records, pop idols and the small matter of reaching a Wimbledon final, it has been a busy two weeks in southwest London for young Canadian Eugenie Bouchard.

The 20-year-old Bouchard is the first Canadian - male or female - to reach a grand slam final and she will come up against sixth seed Petra Kvitova for a chance to win the prestigious Venus Rosewater Dish in the women's final on Saturday.
