AZARENKA DEFEATS PERVAK

Victoria Azarenka has defeated Ksenia Pervak of Kazakhstan in a match of the Brisbane International Tennis tournament. Azarenka won the match in the straight sets by 6-1, 6-0. With this victory, Azarenka has made her way into the semi finals.

Azarenka was expected to dominate in the match as she was much higher in rankings than Pervak and she stood up to the expectations. The Belarusian superstar took just 69 minutes to win the match and knock her opponent out of the competition. She was in absolute demolishing mood and she made the match completely one sided.

Azarenka had won its previous match quite easily as well. She had started the new year on a high by defeating Sabine Lisicki of Germany in the straight sets by 6-3, 6-3. But, in the match against Pervak, the world no. 1 looked even more aggressive. She let her opponent win just a single game in the entire match which tells the story of her dominance.

Azarenka was off to a brilliant start in the match. She got three successive breakthroughs and won the first five games on the trot to take a lead of 5-0. Pervak eventually made her presence felt by breaking Azarenka’s service in the sixth game, but, that was too little to make an impact. Azarenka easily served out with the seventh game and sealed the first set by 6-1.

In the second set, Azarenka got even more aggressive. Just like the opening set, the Belarusian broke Pervak’s service thrice in the second set as well and won the first six games consecutively to wrap up the match.

Azarenka served four double faults in the match, but, she made up for it by converting seven out of the nine breakpoints that she got. In the semi final, Azarenka will take on the winner of the match between Sloane Stephens and Serena Williams.
