NEW YORK -- Canadian Eugenie Bouchard has claimed spots in the fourth round of the U.S. Open after winning a tough match on Saturday. Bouchard dazzled for a second straight match under the Arthur Ashe showcase court lights, overcoming a run of poor play but defeating Barbora Zahlavova Strycova 6-2, 6-7 (2), 6-4 in just over two and a half hours. Bouchard remains impressed by the massive 24,000 capacity stadium, the largest in the sport, where she has played her last two matches. "I felt great," said the seventh seed, who will face Ekaterina Makarova of Russia in the fourth round. "With all the energy around, I felt we had to put on a show. "I dont know if I can ever get used to something so special as here. It was windy and difficult tonight but I dont care, Id play here any time." The 20-year-old, from Westmount, Que., fought from a break down in the second set but lost the set in a tiebreaker. "I was disappointed in myself, not necessarily about going to a third, but by my level in the second set," she said. "I was surprised I could do so many unforced errors in one set. "Thats something I definitely dont want to repeat again. But Im determined to do better in my next match." The third set was full of plot twists as Bouchard finally ended a run of three straight breaks of serve between the two as her Czech opponent double-faulted for the eighth time to drop serve in the ninth game. Leading 5-4, Bouchard served out the victory to continue the Grand Slam run of form which has taken her into the WTA top 10. "In in the third set, when things still werent going my way, I felt a little lull in my game," Bouchard said. "In the second set I felt it, and in the beginning of the third. "Somehow I was able to snap out of it and turn it around. Its important to at least realize when Im in those moments, try to get myself out of it, which I was able to do." The win over Zahlavova Strycova, the 30th seed, marked Bouchards third victory over the veteran. Bouchard also won their meetings in Osaka last autumn and in Nurnberg on clay this spring.
