MELBOURNE, Australia -- Montreals Eugenie Bouchard has been preparing for the Australian Open semifinal her entire life. Jorge Campos Jersey . Bouchard became the first Canadian woman to reach a Grand Slam semi in three decades with her 5-7, 7-5, 6-2 quarter-final win over former No. 1 Ana Ivanovic on Monday. She faces Chinas Li Na on Thursday in the Australian Opens final four. "This is something Ive been doing since I was five years old and working my whole life for and sacrificing a lot of things for," said Bouchard. "So its not exactly a surprise. I always expect myself to do well. Im just happy to have gone through this step. Im not done. I have a match on Thursday. Im just looking forward to that." The semifinal pairing of the 19-year-old Bouchard versus the 31-year-old Li, who won the 2011 French Open, has captured the attention of tennis fans around the world. Li has played two of the last three finals at Melbourne Park. That kind of WTA rep does not bother the confident Bouchard, whose ad-hoc Genie Army of a dozen or so Aussie fans will surely be out in full force for the showcase event. "Lis a great champion, shes won a Slam, as well, its going to be really tough," said Bouchard, playing in the main draw of a major for only the fourth time. "I played her once in Montreal two years ago. We had a close match, one of my first bigger matches. "It will be interesting to play her. I know shes very solid, very good from the back. Its going to be hard, but Im looking forward to it." Beside her tennis, its Bouchards bubbly personality that has captured fan fancy, with commentators already labelling her the next breakout womens star. The Canadian extrovert, who confesses to possessing a Type A, get-it-done personality -- especially on the court -- is dealing with the expectations well. "Im a really focused person, really driven. Off the court Im almost impatient in a way," said Bouchard. "On the court Im the same way. I really just want to play my game, be aggressive, take it to my opponent, and not just wait around and wait for opportunities. "I think its a good thing to take my chances when Im on the court." Bouchards not intimidated by the big stage of a Grand Slam tournament, either. "The matches I had last year on the big courts, like (Maria) Sharapova at the French Open, Ivanovic at Wimbledon, just being on those big stages gave me a lot of experience," she said. "Now walking out on centre court in Australia, I feel like Ive been here before. Ive been able to perform on big stages as well. It gives me that extra confidence." While she wont make any predictions about her match with Li, Bouchard is fairly certain that her supporters will be tossing another stuffed Aussie animal onto the court after the match, bringing her tournament total to five. The bulky mementos have a special place in her heart, with Bouchard bringing each new one to post-match media availability and sitting it proudly next to the microphone. Getting the growing menagerie back to Quebec should not be a problem for the resourceful Bouchard. "I have a koala, and kangaroo, a kookaburra, and a wombat," she said. "I will create luggage space. Its worth it to take my wombat home."

Dustin Penner and Kyle Palmieri scored first-period goals, and Viktor Fasth made 33 saves for the defending Pacific Division champions, who have won five of their first six games for the first time in the clubs two-decade history. Selannes 676th career goal late in the second period ended up providing the winning margin for the Ducks, who have won 17 consecutive home games against Calgary since Jan. 19, 2004. Lee Stempniak scored a short-handed goal and Jiri Hudler got credit for a deflected goal early in the third period for Calgary. Selanne scored on a breakaway, taking a slick pass from Jakob Silfverberg and beating Joey MacDonald between the legs. The 43-year-old Finnish Flash broke his stick moments earlier, but skated to the bench for new lumber before sneaking behind the Calgary defence for a score. MacDonald stopped 19 shots for the Flames, who had four days off before opening a five-game trip. Calgarys 3-0-2 start was the franchises best since the Atlanta Flames went unbeaten in their first 12 games of the 1978-79 season. Calgary has lost 26 of its last 27 road games against Anaheim, its new division rivals under NHL realignment. Fasth was strong after 10 days off in his tandem with Jonas Hiller, and though the Ducks managed less than half of their club-record 56 shots from Sundays win over Ottawa, they are a potent offensive team with 20 goals during their five-game streak. PPenner scored just 3:27 in, converting a cross-ice pass from captain Ryan Getzlaf for the second goal of the left wings return to Anaheim. Adrian Aldrete Jersey. . Penner has already matched his goal total in 33 regular-season games last year with the Los Angeles Kings, although he came up bigger in the playoffs for the Ducks rivals. Palmieri added to Anaheims lead with an exceptional effort later in the period, intercepting Chris Butlers clearing attempt and getting off a wrist shot in the middle of four Flames in the slot. He beat MacDonald high to the stick side for his first goal of the season. Calgarys Tim Jackman got a game misconduct for butt-ending Sami Vatanen late in the first period, but the Flames got the only benefit from the five-minute Anaheim power play. Palmieri stumbled when a puck jumped over his stick near the blue line, and Stempniak scored on a clean short-handed breakaway. The Ducks managed just three shots in those five minutes, dropping to an NHL-worst 1 for 22 on the power play this season. After Selannes goal sent the Ducks into the third period with a two-goal lead, Hudler trimmed the Flames deficit when Kris Russells shot from the blue line deflected off his body and pinballed past Fasth for his third goal of the season.
