MELBOURNE, Australia -- Two of Canadas rising tennis stars are into the second round of the Australian Open as Eugenie Bouchard and Vasek Pospisil each scored opening-day victories. Stitched Los Angeles Rams Jerseys . Montreals Bouchard survived a scare from a 431st-ranked challenger from China, scoring a 7-5, 6-1 victory over Chen Tang Hao. Vancouvers Pospisil, who is seeded 28th, eliminated Australian Sam Groth with a 6-4, 6-3, 6-4 win. Bouchard, the 30th seed, rode a roller-coaster in the one-hour opening set after earning a 3-1 lead, only to lose it a game later on a double-fault. Bouchard, recently named The Canadian Press female athlete of the year, was broken again to drop to 3-4 as Tang rifled back a return winner before holding for a 5-3 lead. Bouchard saved set points in the ensuing game on Tang errors before finally earning a 7-5 win on a break. The 19-year-old Bouchard was more in control in the second set and dominated to win the 6-1. "It was tough but I fought and got through it," Bouchard said. "I didnt play the way I really wanted, but it was good to win one like this. "It was really fun, I had some good support, it was good atmosphere," said Bouchard, who admitted struggling the 35-degree heat. "It was hotter than past few days, tough for both of us," she said. "Its strange training at one temperature (around 25 C on Sunday) and playing in something completely different. But no complaints, it was the same for both of us." She said she needed to be mindful of the hot sun. "Im big on sunscreen and hydration, especially the night before," said Bouchard. I did a good job of it and was fine. Id rather play tennis in the sun than do anything else anyway." Pospisil, 23, was never troubled by Groth and appears to have overcome a back problem which bothered him this month in India and Sydney. In the second round, Pospisil will face another Australian in Matthew Ebden, who beat Nicolas Mahut of France 6-3, 7-5, 4-6, 0-6, 6-3. Pospisil said that while he did not feel at 100 per cent, he played well. "I played surprising well, I was not expecting to play like this," he said. "I wasnt feeling that great and only played points the day before, I didnt have much preparation. "But I returned and served well, overall I did fine." "I didnt feel any fatigue, I was playing relaxed because of my back," he added. "I dont anticipate any problems in the next round but Im glad I didnt have to go five sets." Pospisil overcame 16 aces from his opponent, firing six of his own and breaking on four of 10 chances. He scored 31 winners and 17 unforced errors. The Canadian earned the break he needed in the seventh game of the opening set and in the final game of the match on the Groth double-fault.

The 29-year-old scored in his eighth consecutive A-League match for Perth Glory on Sunday, netting in a dramatic 3-2 win over Melbourne City. Keogh has 30 caps for Republic of Ireland, the last of which came in 2013, but he is determined to catch Martin ONeills attention in the run up to Euro 2016. Keogh told Sky Sports News HQ: Its a great feeling to break the record but its all credit to my team-mates as well. My goals have been important because theyve helped us into the play-offs and contributed to the teams performances.Im hoping Martin ONeill has noticed. I love my country and feel I can contribute, especially as Im in good form and scoring goalsMartin has shown a willingness to look outside the box with some players and Id love to show what I could do in a training camp.Keogh won the FAI Goal of the Year award for his first international strike in 2008, and hhe was a regular under previous managers Steve Staunton and Giovanni Trapattoni.

The former Wolves star admits his performances in recent seasons have not been good enough for more caps but he says he has been training harder than ever to earn a spot. It was difficult not playing since 2013 but my performances probably didnt justify being selected, he said. Ive had no issues with it but now I feel a lot better player. I have more experience, I look after my body better and have being working harder than ever before in training and the gym.Martin hasnt been in touch yet but Im hoping to speak to him. I regularly keep in touch with a lot of the guys and theyre great lads.I feel fitter and better than ever and I want to score more goals for my country.
