"First and foremost I focus on the tennis. Whatever comes with it, I take in my stride. I know it's part of the job and I appreciate everything that comes with it," said the Montreal native who will pocket more than $3 million if she triumphs on Sunday- Fierce determination - Bouchard had earlier failed at the semi-final stage of both the Australian and French Open tennis tournaments this year, but she did not quit trying harder. Bouchard came to the limelight following her victory over world number three Simona Halep in Thursday's last four clash. Bouchard, who was also the junior Wimbledon champion only two years ago, holds herself to high standards and becoming the first Canadian to reach a Grand Slam final is nothing more than she expected, so she will save any real celebrations for if she wins the title this weekend. She said:
"I'm proud of what I've accomplished, but the job is not over. "I started playing tennis at five years old and I was nine when I decided I wanted to do it professionally. Since that age I dreamt of winning a Grand Slam. "It's been a long time in the making, for it to finally come together, all the hard work, the talent I know I have, the effort I put in, for it to produce results on the match court. "It's not just an overnight thing. I've been believing in myself more and more."Do you like Tennis? Are you following Wimbledon 2014? Who are your favourites?
