Bouchard a first-round winner at Swiss Open

Canada’s Eugenie Bouchard advanced to the second round of the Swiss Open on Tuesday, rallying from a set down to beat Timea Bacsinszky of Switzerland 4-6, 7-6 (1), 6-4. Bouchard broke Bacsinszky, a former world No. 9, twice in the third and deciding set for a commanding 4-1 lead. Bacsinszky broke Bouchard right back to stay in the match, but the Westmount, Que., native held serve the rest of the way for the win. Bouchard, No. 146 on the WTA rankings, was playing in her second singles match since a secondround exit at Wimbledon two weeks ago. She competed in a lower-level Challenger event last week and lost in the final.
