MONTREAL, QUEBEC, CANADA – Taking Care of Business was released in 1973 by the great Canadian rock band Bachman Turner Overdrive. This unofficial anthem of the weekend for Eugenie Bouchard hit the airwaves 21 years before she was even born, but the rising star came into this tie and did as the title demanded.

Bouchard defeated top-seeded Serbian Vesna Dolonc 6-0, 6-3 in just under an hour to give Canada an insurmountable 3-0 lead in the Fed Cup by BNP Paribas World Group II tie.

The last time Canada put on such a dominant performance at this level was in April of 2010 when they swept Argentina, giving up only one set in five rubbers during a World Group II playoff. Without Serbia’s top three players in attendance, there was no reason for Canadians to expect anything but a win at the Complexe Sportif Claude Robbilard in Montreal.

“Winning for Canada - it’s a different feeling. I’m always very happy to play for my country. I’m always very patroitc,” said Bouchard as she pointed to the Canadian flag painted on her right cheek. “You feel like you always have that extra support.”

Canada will await the draw next week to determine its opponent in April’s Fed Cup World Group playoffs. They will face one of the four losers from this weekend's World Group opening round (Czech Republic/Spain, Slovak Republic, Russia, or the United States).

Bouchard took the opening set in just 18 minutes, bageling her Serbian opponent and allowing just seven points. Having trouble with her serve on the ad side, Bouchard was broken to start the second set, thanks in part, to two double faults. She may have committed more unforced errors (15) in the second set than she made in the previous three sets this weekend, but when Bouchard was on her game, the local star was unstoppable.

“Even down 0-40 [in the fifth game] I wanted to win one point at a time and really stay in the moment,” said Bouchard. “I was definitely happy to stay with her and fight.”

On her first attempt to win the tie for Canada, Bouchard fired an ace down the middle of the court, raised both her hands in victory, looked at captain Sylvain Bruneau and catapulted her country into a potential Top 10 world ranking and a spot in the World Group playoffs. The International Tennis Federation will release the new Fed Cup rankings on Tuesday.

One of the attributes that makes Bouchard a legitimate contender is how aggressive she plays. The Canadian is always looking to attack. If she can make a swinging volley, she will strike instead of waiting for the bounce like so many women on tour who lack confidence in their strokes. She possesses a quiet but fierce demeanour on court - Bouchard is all work and no play between the lines. When she enters the media room, we are quickly reminded that she is only 19-years-old. Bouchard brought with her a pile of stuffed animals that were showered down on her following her victory. It has become a tradition, started by her supporters, named “Genie’s Army,” in Melbourne.

“They get their own seat,” joked Bouchard referring to the stuffed animals.

There is no time to celebrate with teammates, family and friends as Bouchard has to quickly board a plane and get to Doha, where she will face American Bethanie Mattek-Sands in the opening round of the $2.44 million Qatar Open on Tuesday.

“It’s going to be really tough but I’ve done that before,” said Bouchard. “I’m happy to travel to play tennis, that’s my life. Sometimes I have to deal with tough situations but that’s part of the deal.”

The Canadian girls erased the bad taste in tennis fans’ mouth from last week in which the men dropped their Davis Cup opening round match in Japan. Canada, who reached the semifinals in 2013, dropped the tie without its two best players, Milos Raonic and Vasek Pospisil who were battling injuries. The Fed Cup team deservedly gained the tennis headlines at home.

For the first time in tennis history, Canada may be a Top 10 nation in both Fed Cup and Davis Cup, in addition to having three players ranked in the top 25 in the world on their respective tours: Bouchard (No. 19), and Raonic (No. 11) and Pospisil (No. 25).

It was a special ending to one of the most dominant tennis performances by any Canadian squad at home. Christina Aguilera’s Genie in a Bottle rang out over the speakers as Team Canada danced on the court and fans rejoiced at the victory presented by their international tennis star. The only disappointment of the weekend was that the music playing wasn’t by Justin Bieber.

Michael Cvitkovic served as head of communications and media relations for Tennis Canada and Rogers Cup Toronto from 2006-2011.
