The native of Westmount, Que., downed Bibiane Schoofs of the Netherlands 6-7 (5), 6-4, 6-4 in the second round of the season-opening event on Wednesday. AUCKLAND, NEW ZEALAND—Canada’s Eugenie Bouchard is off to the quarter-finals at the ASB Classic. Ranked 87th in the world, the 24-year-old Bouchard missed a chance to win the first set with her serve, but battled back in the second and third sets to take out the 174th-ranked Schoofs. Bouchard will face a much stiffer test in the quarter-finals as she meets No. The two have split a pair of three-set matches against each other, with Bouchard winning at the French Open in 2014 and Goerges prevailing last year on a hard court in Luxembourg.
