MONTREAL -- Eugenie Bouchard reconnected with her hometown fans with an impressive first-round victory at the womens Rogers Cup on Tuesday.A large crowd at Uniprix Stadium was solidly behind the Westmount, Quebec, native throughout her 6-3, 3-6, 7-6 (3) win over Lucie Safarova, the pre-match favorite ranked 28th in the world to Bouchards 41st.They roared as Bouchard came back from a 3-1 deficit in the tiebreaker with six straight points, taking the win on Safarovas 10th double fault of the match.Bouchard has faced criticism, mostly to do with losing touch with her home fan base since her spectacular 2014 season when she reached the Wimbledon final and rose to No. 5 in the world.It did not go over well last week when, after losing her first match in Washington, D.C., she talked about visiting museums in the U.S. capital rather than go home to the craziness in Montreal.Bouchard had a change of heart because she not only headed north right away, but participated in off-court events with fans and ended uncertainty over her Olympic plans by saying she will represent Canada in Rio de Janeiro.Then she pulled off a thrilling and unexpected win on center court.Bouchard dominated the opening set, completing her second service break with a pinpoint backhand down the line, only to see Safarova find her service range and rally in the second.They held serve through the third, although Bouchard let three match points slip away while leading 6-5, 40-0, giving Safarova momentum going into the tiebreaker.Bouchard will next face the winner of a match between Dominika Cibulkova and Mariana Duque-Marino.It did not go so well for Aleksandra Wozniak of Blainville, Quebec, who lost 6-4, 7-6 (4) to Italys Sara Errani.Errani, ranked 25th in the world, posted four service breaks in the first set of the center court matchup of 29-year-old baseliners. Errani, coming off a quarterfinal on clay in Sweden last week, led 4-2 in the second when Wozniak had her best moments battling back to force a tiebreaker.Wozniak was ranked 21st in 2009, but has slipped to 465th after a series of injuries, including major shoulder surgery. She lost in the first round for a second week in a row, having fallen to Jessica Pegula last week in Washington, D.C.I think it was a close match, playing the No. 25 in the world, said Wozniak. I thought I played well.I had some opportunities to turn it around. But Im happy with the performance going forward after this long period of time which I didnt play such a high level of tennis.Erranis next opponent is 14th seed Karolina Pliskova, who got past Kateryna Bondarenko 3-6, 6-2, 7-5.The third Canadian in the 56-player draw, Francoise Abanda of Montreal, went up 6-1, 4-1 on Chinese qualifier Saisai Zheng, but then had to battle to take the second set 7-5. The 19-year-old Abanda, ranked 272nd to Zhengs 66th, posted her first Rogers Cup win in three tries. She will face 17th seeded Elina Svitolina in the second round.Abandas match was moved to center court after French Open champion and third seed Garbine Muguruza withdrew with a digestive illness, Her scheduled opponent, British qualifier Naomi Broady, instead was matched against lucky loser Varvara Lechenko in the second round.Even though (Monday) I couldnt play because of the rain, I kind of didnt feel well, said Muguruza, who plans to stay on and get over what is considered a minor illness. Call the doctor and everything -- I dont feel well.Today I went to the court to warm up, but I didnt really feel 100 percent. At the last moment of the match, I start to warm up again and Im like OK no, no, I dont feel (well enough) to go on the court and give my best.A matchup of the Madisons looms as 10th-seeded Madison Keys breezed by Elena Visnina 6-4, 6-0 and will face fellow American Madison Brengle in the second round.
