Eugenie Bouchard admitted Thursday wasn’t her brightest moment on the world tennis stage.

But, despite falling to Maria Sharapova in the French Open semi-final, the day wasn’t a total loss.

The 20-year-old rising star is the only woman to reach both the Aussie and French semifinal, and her performance at Roland Garros should move her up to No. 12 when WTA rankings are released Monday. Prior to the French Open, the Westmount, Que., native held the No. 18 spot.

“I think it was a tough battle, which is what I expected. I felt the whole match I didn’t play as well as I have played earlier in the tournament, which is always disappointing,” Bouchard said after losing in three sets.

“(Sharapova) is a great player who always puts pressure on you. She was able to play better as the match went on. I had a few chances here and there, but I wasn’t able to take advantage of my chances when I had them.”
