Eugenie Bouchard win over Alisa Kleybanova at the Portugal Open 2014

Bouchard has been one of the breakthrough acts of the 2014 season, soaring up the rankings thanks to a series of mature performances that have belied her tender years.
The most recent of these came on the green clay of Charleston earlier this month, where she defeated Venus Williams and Jelena Jankovic en route to the semifinals. On Tuesday, in her first match on European soil since last summer, the Canadian took on another of the year's feel-good stories, Alisa Kleybanova. 
 Kleybanova warmed up for Oeiras with an impressive quarterfinal run in Stuttgart, and she carried this form into the early stages with Bouchard. However, as the match wore on Bouchard's freshness started to tell. The Canadian began to take control midway through the opening set, claiming the decisive break in the fifth game. 
 Things went from bad to worse for Kleybanova at the start of the second, Bouchard staging a miraculous mid-rally recovery to capture an early break. From here, the No.2 seed never looked back, breaking serve three more times to cruise into the second round.
