MELBOURNE, Australia - Genie Bouchard is putting her Australian Open breakthrough form of a year ago out of mind as the Canadian concentrates on a new year and a new tennis season. Fake Bruins Jerseys .The 20-year-old from Westmount, Que., takes the seventh seed when the first major of the season opens on Monday, with Bouchard facing Germanys Anna-Lena Friedsam.I try to see it as just a new year. Im not concerned about defending points from last year, said Bouchard, the 2014 Melbourne semi-finalist. To me its 2015. I start at zero and try to do as well as I can.My past results dont mean anything when Im going to walk out on the court tomorrow. I still have to fight and try to play as well as I can. I have great memories from last year, but it doesnt really mean anything to me this year.Bouchard is deliberately keeping the pressure off after rising into the Top-10 thanks to grand slam semis appearances in Melbourne and Paris, and a Wimbledon final.Her only goal at the moment is beating Friedsam— ranked 91 spots below her. The German took a win over the Canadian three years ago at a minor event in Slovenia.I know shes talented. Shes young, as well. I think she has a good serve, a good forehand. I dont really remember 100 per cent.Im just going to be ready for a battle. It will be my first tournament match of 2015 (after playing for Canada at the Hopman Cup team event in Perth)... Im really excited to go out there and try to do my best. Try just to prove to myself that I can get some matches under my belt at the beginning of the year. I think thats always very important.Bouchard has been without a permanent coach since parting with longtime mentor Nick Saviano under somewhat obscure circumstances in the off-season.For the moment, the Canadian is travelling in Australia with former player Diego Ayala. Thats about the extent of explanations from Bouchard about the arrangement,He was someone I worked with when I was younger. You dont get that on the tour now so much. So I think thats helpful for me right now.Theres that familiarity I have with him right now which is good, she added. Hes been on tour with a few players, can hit really well, as well.But as for any future plans: Were in Australia together. I dont know where its going to go, but thats the plan for now. Bruins Jerseys 2019 . -- The Kelowna Rockets earned their 16th straight win with a 7-2 rout of the Portland Winterhawks in Western Hockey League action Thursday. Cheap Bruins Jerseys . Its the second time this season that Milan has been sanctioned by the league judge, after fans also subjected Napoli supporters to discriminatory chants. The ban will come into effect for Milans next match, against Udinese on Oct.BOISE, Idaho -- Western Michigan couldnt cap its turnaround season with its first bowl victory in school history. Air Force beat the Broncos 38-24 on Saturday night in the Famous Idaho Potato Bowl, dropping them to 0-6 in bowl games. Western Michigan was 8-5 this season after going 1-11 last year. This group accomplished an awful lot, Western Michigan coach P.J. Fleck said. Im proud of this football team. We had the greatest turnaround in MAC history, but were still not there yet. Air Force knows how to win and deserves a ton of credit. Western Michigan, which used the motto Row The Boat all season, was in the right place for that motto Saturday. Playing in a driving rainstorm on a waterlogged blue field, the Broncos tried to row themselves back into the game after falling behind 23-10 after three quarters. Pinned at their own 8, Western Michigan embarked on a nine play, 92-yard drive that was capped by the second of three touchdown passes from Zach Terrell to Corey Davis. The 35-yard hookup made it 23-17 with 13:26 to play. After holding the Falcons, Western Michigans Daniel Braverman returned a punt for a touchdown and appeared to pull his team even. The play was called back because of an illegal block in the back. It was a penalty, Fleck said. We didnt need the block. Youre not going to beat a team like that making that many mistakes. Western Michigan moved into Air Force territory, but the comeback ended quickly. Terrell was hit while scrambling by Falcon linebacker Shane Proctor and fumbled. Air Force defensive back Dexter White scooped up the loose ball and returned it 60 yards for the clinching touchdown. That was big, Air Force linebacker Jordan Pierce said. Im proud of our defence. That touchdown really turned the game in our favour - thats all she wrote. Terrell said he was looking for Taylor when he started to scramble. I didnt realize someone was behind me, Terrell said. The ball is our program. I cant leet that happen. Stitched Bruins Jerseys. I have to have a vice grip on the ball and cant let it get out. Fleck agreed that play was a back-breaker. Thats a 14-point swing in about 35 seconds, Fleck said. Weve got to learn from that and find ways to win. Thats how quick a football game can change. Davis finished with 8 catches for 176 yards and three touchdowns to earn the Most Valuable Player honours for his team. Western Michigan started strong, recovering a fumble on the first play from scrimmage that set up a 25-yard field goal by Andrew Haldeman and led 10-6 after Davis first touchdown grab, a 47-yarder. Air Force, though, rallied in the second quarter to take the lead for good. Sophomore running back Shayne Dalvern scored his second touchdown of the game on a career-long 55-yard run to give the Falcons a 13-10 advantage. Dalvern finished with 102 yards and two touchdowns to earn the Air Force MVP award. Dalvern also carried six yards on a fake punt in the second quarter that picked up a first down and allowed his team to take a 20-10 lead when Devin Rushing capped the 15-play, 80-yard drive on a fourth day play. In the first half, the Broncos hurt themselves. Two penalties on third down gave Air Force first downs on their first scoring drive. Thats uncharacteristic of us, Fleck said, adding that the penalties all seemed to come at critical junctures of the game. Air Force, which also had one of the best turnarounds in college football this season, became the first team since 2010 to go from a 10-loss season to a 10-win campaign. The Falcons were 2-10 in 2013 and finished 10-3 this season. Air Force ran for 284 yards and converted all four of its chances in the red zone. Western Michigan entered the game averaging 178.5 yards per game rushing but finished with only 79 on 26 carries. Give Air Force all the credit, Fleck said. It was like running uphill, both ways in the snow backwards against their defence. ' ' '
