Seattle, WA (SportsNetwork.com) - Seattle Sounders FC have signed head coach Sigi Schmid to a multi-year contract extension after he helped the team to its most successful season in MLS. Schmid has been in charge of the side since it joined MLS in 2009, and his new deal comes after he guided the Sounders to their first 20-win regular season, which resulted in Seattle claiming the Supporters Shield. I am very excited and happy today to announce weve signed a multi-year deal with Sigi, Sounders general manager Adrian Hanauer said. Sigi will be around for the foreseeable future. Were very happy to have him as a coach. Ive said it many times: not only a fantastic coach, but a fantastic person, great person, in the community and someone Im proud to call a friend of mine. The Sounders also captured their fourth U.S. Open Cup title in six years by defeating the Philadelphia Union in the final, although the club came up a bit short in its quest to become the first in MLS to win the treble as they were bounced from the MLS Cup playoffs by the Los Angeles Galaxy in the Western Conference finals. Its great to continue to be able to work with this organization, Schmid said. Its something Im looking forward and Im extremely excited about. I still enjoy [coaching]. I still love it. I still like being around the game, I still like being around the players. But more so than anything, the beauty of coaching is: No game is the same, and no year is the same.

The 13th-seeded Bouchard also made the semfinals at the French Open last month and the Australian Open earlier this year. She will face French Open finalist and third-seed Simona Halep after the Romanian crushed 2013 Wimbledon finalist Sabine Lisicki 6-4, 6-0 on Wednesday. The win is expected to put the 20-year-old Bouchard into the WTAs top-10 for the first time in her career. "Im excited to be in the semis. But, of course, Im never satisfied, so I definitely want to go a step further, or as far as I can," Bouchard said. "Im looking forward to try to play a little bit like I played today. I thought I was pretty solid out there and playing the right way on the grass. So thats going to be a key." Canada could have two players in the semis if Milos Raonic of Thornhill, Ont., defeats Australian wild card entry Nick Kyrgios in his quarter-final. In other mens quarter-final action, defending champion Andy Murray was defeated in straight sets by Bulgarias Grigor Dimitrov. Dimitrov next faces top seed Novak Djokovic, who reached the Wimbledon semifinals for the fifth consecutive year by coming back to beat 26th-seeded Marin Cilic of Croatia 6-1, 3-6, 6-7 (4), 6-2, 6-2. Bouchard says shes ready to get beyond the final four. "Im excited to be in the semifinals against (her) but I want to go further for sure," said Bouchard. Bouchard struggled to close out her win over Kerber, whom she beat a month ago in Paris. She finally advanced after 72 minutes on her first match point, which she set up with a down-the-line winner followed a point later by a Kerber backhand error.dddddddddddd "It was a tough battle, Ive played her before and I knew what to expect," said Bouchard. "I had to just keep fighting and I pulled it out at the end." Bouchard saved two break points in the final game and ended with three breaks of serve from 13 chances. She had 29 winners and 20 unforced errors. "In the last game, I was just trying to stay in the moment," said Bouchard, who improved her Wimbledon record to 7-1. "I was not thinking ahead. Thats something Ive been working on." "I had a few bad errors in that game but I also hit some aggressive shots, thats just my game," she added. Bouchard has lost her only previous meeting against Halep, on hardcourt at Indian Wells last March. "Shes a good player and Im ready for another tough match," Bouchard said. "Its not every day you can walk out on Centre Court and play the semis of a slam. Thats the most important thing for me, is to really enjoy it. Im going to try, give it my best, leave everything on the court, and well see what happens." Halep, meanwhile, took command of her match by attacking Lisickis weak second serve. The German won only eight of 26 points on her second serve. She also had 20 unforced errors, compared to 11 by Halep. "She had 4-1 and then I came very well back," Halep said. "I played my best today and I was enjoying every moment because it was incredible on Centre Court." ' ' '
