The stunning win against Maria Sharapova may have given that kick-start to her season that Eugenie Bouchard has had been looking for, this 2017.

Now, if the momentum has indeed come on her stride, the Canadian tennis star should be ready enough for her Madrid Open battle on Wednesday May 10.

Genie Bouchard, 23, takes on the top seed Angelique Kerber now. A win for Bouchard may just give her the confidence to even lift the title in the end.

However, recording a win against Kerber is not easy at all and everyone following the sport knows that pretty well.

The German enters the match at the back of a 6-2 1-6 7-5 win against Kateřina Siniaková. In the first round, Kerber came on top of Timea Babos.

Although her match against Siniakova went tougher than expected, Kerber is definitely the favourite entering the match against Bouchard, who did call herself the "underdog" when asked about giving her thoughts ahead of Wednesday's crucial match.
