I nominate Eugenie Bouchard for membership as an honorary Husky.
After finishing off Simona Halep (#3 in the world) in the semi's today there was no celebration, no histrionics, she went to the net straightaway and congratulated her worthy opponent.
As the Times put it:
"She barely cracked a smile. That was partly because she was exasperated at needing six match points and an extra game to finish. It was mostly because Bouchard seems hardwired to stay focused.
“I feel like my job is not done here, so there’s no need for a huge celebration because, you know, I’m still working,” she said.
What a pleasant attitudinal change of pace; Geno would approve.
