The only Canadian woman to achieve a world top-10 ranking
in tennis is watching Eugenie Bouchards run at Wimbledon
with great interest.
c-3/">Custom Seattle Mariners Jerseys . Carling
Bassett-Seguso was a world No. 8 almost 30 years ago.
Currently 13th, Bouchard is assured of equalling that
when the next rankings are released Monday. The 20-year-
old from Westmount, Que., became the first Canadian woman
to reach Wimbledons semifinals with a 6-3, 6-4 win over
ninth-seeded Angelique Kerber of Germany on Wednesday.
"Im telling you shes going to number one," Bassett-Seguso
told The Canadian Press. "I watched her play. I dont
watch too much womens tennis to be honest with you. I
watched that match and I was just blown away. "She just
takes the ball so aggressively. Her composure, I cant
even believe shes 20. Her shot selection, her timing is
impeccable. She really takes the ball early. If you look
at her statistics, she hits more winners than errors." A
victory over third-seeded Simona Halep of Romania in
Thursdays semifinal can push Bouchards ranking higher
than eighth and set a new pinnacle in Canadian womens
tennis. Bassett-Seguso intends to be watching from her
home in Bradenton, Fla., as Bouchard attempts to make
more Canadian tennis history. "It gives me great interest
to watch now," the 46-year-old said. "She has such great
potential. "I love Wimbledon. I look at it and say they
hit the ball way harder than I did. Its a totally
different game now. Whats exciting is she can hit a lot
of other shots too. I like to see the creativity too."
Bouchard also reached the semifinals of this years French
Open and Australian Open. Canadas Federation Cup captain
Sylvain Bruneau agrees with the Bassett-Segusos
assessment of Bouchards potential. "Can she be No. 1 one
day? I wouldnt dare to put any limits on Eugenie," he
said. "With three semifinals at 20 years old and the type
of tennis she plays, I dont think there is a limit. "I
think she can aim for big things in tennis. No. 1 in the
world is something that is very possible. Right now, shes
playing great tennis." These are heady days in Canadian
tennis. Milos Raonic of Thornhill, Ont., also earned his
first Grand Slam semifinal berth Wednesday with a 6-7, 6-
2, 6-4, 7-6 (4) win over Australias Nick Kyrgios.
Bassett-Seguso, who blazed her own tennis trail in the
1980s, is enjoying it from afar. "For me, its great," she
said. "Theres a big interest and I think its going to be
such a great asset to Canadian tennis itself, on the mens
side too." Torontos Bassett-Seguso turned pro at 15 in
1983 when there were no age minimums to play on tour. She
reached No. 8 in the world two years later. She was a
semifinalist at the U.S. Open in 1984 when she lost to
Chris Evert. She also reached the quarter-finals of the
Australian and French Opens during her career. She
married U.S. tennis player Robert Seguso in 1987. The
couple once ran a tennis academy in Florida, but are no
longer involved in the sport. They have five children
ranging in age from two to 26. The blonde, photogenic
Bassett-Seguso became a Canadian celebrity with the
nickname "Darling Carling." The teenager worked for the
Ford Modelling Agency. She acted in the teen movie
"Spring Fever", as well as a television episode of "The
Littlest Hobo." The success came with pressure, however.
Bassett-Seguso struggled with an eating disorder during
her career. She lost some of her passion for the game
after the death of her father John in 1986 from cancer,
although she continued to play on tour until 1990.
Bouchard, also tall and blonde, is likewise attracting
her share of attention, and endorsements, as her career
soars. She has a significant following on social media
and her fan club is "Genies Army." But joining the worlds
top 10 players requires unwavering commitment to the
sport, Bassett-Seguso said. Tennis is a world sport with
145 countries as members of the International Tennis
Federation. "Its hard. Im not going to lie. Its really
hard," Bassett-Seguso said. "I dont think anything is too
hard if you want something bad enough and you have a plan
and you have the right people around you and you know
what has to go into it. "Youre going to fall (in the
rankings) at times and thats where you have to constantly
believe in yourself and take baby steps. You have to stay
focused. Tennis has to be your whole life. It has to be."

hander Chris Sale and closer Matt Lindstrom are on the
disabled list.CHARLOTTE, N.C. - Coach Steve Kerr knew
when he arrived at Golden State that Marreese Speights
would figure into the mix somehow this season with the
Warriors.He never envisioned how big of an impact
Speights would have in the teams 13-2 start.I figured he
was a guy who could give us a spark off the bench every
now and again, but I didnt see him as our full-time
backup centre. ... but Mo has been way better than I
expected, Kerr said.Kerr even sat out Speights early in
the season, saying because Im an idiot. He said hes not
going to make the same mistake again.Speights scored 16
of his 27 points to start the fourth quarter, helping the
Warriors beat the Charlotte Hornets 106-101 on Friday
night for their eighth straight win.He saved us again,
Kerr said. Its like the fourth time hes saved us. Hes
just having a terrific season.Stephen Curry finished with
26 points despite a poor shooting night from 3-point
range, and Klay Thompson added 17 points for the Warriors
(13-2).We were struggling to find a rhythm and he came in
and dominated, took over the game, Curry said of
Speights. He basically won us the game. Without him
tonight our team doesnt even come close.Said Speights: I
think it shows we got a deep team.Brian Roberts scored 20
points and Al Jefferson had 18 points for the struggling
Hornets (4-13), who have lost eight straight games and 10
of their last 11. Cody Zeller had 15 points and 14
rebounds and Kemba Walker had 13 points and 13
rebounds.Curry, making his return to Charlotte where he
played high school basketball and starred at nearby
Davidson College, made his first 3-pointer then missed
his final nine. He still finished 9 of 20 from the field
and made all seven free throw attempts.The Warriors out-
rebounded the Hornets 16-8 on the offensive glass.It
never matters how well you play if youre going to get
tattooed on the glasss, Hornets coach Steve Clifford
said. smyly-jersey-c-20/">Drew Smyly Jersey. The Warriors
came in having outscored opponents by an average of
nearly 15 points during their winning streak, but entered
the fourth quarter trailing 80-74.Then Speights got
hot.The six-year NBA veteran scored his teams first 16
points of the fourth quarter on 8-of-9 shooting — most
of those coming on mid-range jump shots — and the
Warriors took a 90-88 lead with five minutes
remaining.When Im in a zone, the basket looks like a
swimming pool, Speights said.Thompson knocked down a 3-
pointer and Curry scored on two run outs as the Warriors
pushed the lead to 97-90. Curry was 6 for 6 from the foul
line in the final two minutes to seal the victory.Curry,
who had 19 points and nine assists in Golden States 25-
point win over Charlotte earlier this season, entered the
game with a hot hand. He scored 28 points against Orlando
and 40 against Miami earlier this week.But after a quick
eight points, Curry cooled off and went to the bench with
3:47 left in the first half after picking up his third
foul. The Hornets tried to attack Curry in the second
half, but he stayed out of more foul trouble.___TIP-
INS:Warriors: Speights has 20 or more points in three
games this season off the bench.Hornets: Zeller started
in place of Marvin Williams, who is out with a strained
shoulder. Williams will sit out Saturday night at
Atlanta, too.RUNNING OF THE BULLS: Kerr interrupted his
post-game press conference twice in the hallway outside
the Warriors locker room to say hello to former Chicago
Bulls teammates -- first to Dickey Simpkins and then
Hornets owner Michael Jordan. Jordan hugged Kerr and told
him keep up the good work, kid. After Jordan walked away,
Kerr turned to the media and said, Wheres (Scottie)
Pippen?UP NEXT:Warriors: Play at Detroit on
Sunday.Hornets: Play at Atlanta on Saturday.
