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.
The no.1 player in the world, Victoria Azarenka, will take part in the Brisbane International tennis competition in the next season. Azarenka had participated in this tournament a couple of times before as well. This would be the only tournament that Azarenka would play before the Australian Open.
Talking to the reporters after signing for the Brisbane International, Azarenka said, “I have played in this competition a few times before and I had thoroughly enjoyed my stay here on those occasions. Brisbane is a wonderful City and the people over here are very nice as well. I am pretty excited to come back here again next year.”
“I had won this tournament in 2009 and I am looking forward to do it again in January. I know that it’s not going to be that easy as there will be some great players participating in the competition, but, I will give my best and hopefully, will manage to win it.”
When asked about her finishing the season as the no.1 player in the world, Azarenka said, “I am delighted to have finished the season at the top of the rankings. It’s a very special achievement for me. I performed consistently throughout the season and got the reward for that. I would have liked to finish the season by winning a title, but, overall, I am pretty happy with how the season went for me.”
“I am looking forward to the next season. It will be an exciting one; that’s for sure. There will certainly be some very tough matches for me in the upcoming season, but, I am quite prepared for it. I will start the season by playing in this tournament and then, will participate in the Australian Open and hopefully, will defend my title there.”

When asked whether it was an easy match for her, Azarenka said, “I didn’t take any opponent lightly. You can’t afford to go into a game with a casual approach. I play with the same kind of intensity in each and every game.”
On the other hand, Oprandi was hugely disappointed after being knocked out of the competition. The Swiss player said, “Azarenka is one of the best players in the world and this match was always going to be tough for me. But, I didn’t even given her a fight and that’s why I am disappointed so much.”

Victoria Azarenka has cruised into the second round of the US Open with an easy victory over Alexandra Panova of Russia. Azarenka won the match in the straight sets by 6-0, 6-1. The scorecard itself tells the story of the match. It was a completely one sided match and Panova managed to win just one game in the entire match. Azarenka played some delightful shots and smashed a number of winners in the match. Azarenka’s form hasn’t been that good recently, but, in this match, she played some high quality tennis and it was a pleasure to watch her play.
Azarenka, who has been given the top seed in this competition, was on fire in the first set. She didn’t let her opponent win even a single game in the opening set. She broke Panova’s service thrice and grabbed the first set by 6-0. Azarenka was off to a flyer in the second set as well. She broke Panova’s service in the first and the third game of the second set and won the first three games consecutively to take a lead of 3-0. Panova managed to win her first game in the match by sneaking a breakthrough in the 4th game. However, that breakthrough didn’t have much impact on the match as Azarenka won the last three games in a row to seal the match.
In the post match interview, Panova said that Azarenka was in tremendous form and she played amazingly well. As per Panova, she tried her best, but, it was Azarenka’ day and it was very hard to stop her. On the other hand, Azarenka was delighted about her performance in the match. The Belarusian superstar said that she hadn’t been playing that well in the recent times and she was not that confident before going into the match. However, she is very happy to win the match in such a dominating fashion. In the second round, Azarenka will play against Kirsten Flipkens of Belgium.
The no. 1 player in the world, Victoria Azarenka, has defeated Irina-Camelia Begu of Romania in the first round of the Women’s tennis singles tournament of London Olympics. It was a rain interrupted encounter. Azarenka was not able to win the match easily. The young Romanian gave her a good fight. The scorecard 6-1, 3-6, 6-1 itself says that the match was not one-sided.
Azarenka started the match pretty well and won the first set by 6-1. But, Irina came back in the match strongly and won the second set by 6-3. However, the experience and quality of Azarenka was too much for Irina in the final set. Azarenka won the third set by 6-1 and went into the second round. After the match, Azarenka said that she made some big mistakes in the second set. In the second set, Irina broke Azarenka’s service several times. According to Azarenka, she has to work a bit on his service. Such mistakes could be costly in the upcoming matches.
Azarenka said that when she plays for herself, she doesn’t feel too much pressure. But, when she plays for her country, she often gets nervous. According to Azarenka, when you play on Centre court after a while, it is not easy to control your shots. She admitted that she was not at her best in the match and if she has to win a medal, she would have to improve her service.
As per Azarenka, the rain also affected her concentration. She had to play the match yesterday, but, due to the rain, she had to wait for too long. In the second round, Azarenka will play against Maria Jose Martinez Sanchez of Spain. Maria won her first match pretty easily. She defeated Polona Hercog of Slovenia in the straight sets by 6-2, 6-4. Azarenka should be very careful against Maria and should not repeat the same mistakes in the second round match.
The Belarusian tennis player, Victoria Azarenka, was practicing on the Wimbledon practice court before going into the semifinal match against Serena Williams. She was practicing with a yellow T-shirt on. But, the rules of Wimbledon are very strict. Even if you are practicing on the practice court, you have to wear the white clothes. One of the officials went to Azarenka and told her that she should be wearing a white T-shirt. He also gave her a white T-shirt to wear. But, Azarenka didn’t look happy with that white T-shirt. She said that she wasn’t feeling comfortable in that white T-shirt.
Azarenka was in fine form before the semi final against Serena. She played wonderful tennis in the quarter final match against Tamira Paszek. She outplayed the young Austrian and defeated her by 6-3, 7-6. However, Tamira played well in the second set and gave a good fight to the Australian open champion. But, she wasn’t able to keep her nerves in the tie-breaker and lost the game. After winning the quarter final match, Victoria said that Serena is a great player and to play the semifinal match against her would be a privilege. On being asked about Tamira, Victoria said that Tamira is a good, young player and the more she will play, the more she will improve.
The recent form of Serena Williams is not that good. She was defeated in the very first round of the French open by an unknown player named Virginie Razzano, who was ranked no. 111 in the official rankings of World Tennis Association (WTA). After that there have been talks that Serena has started to fade. But, there is no doubt that she has been a great player over the years and it would not be easy for Azarenka to win the semifinal match.
