Tennis star Victoria Azarenka has returned to the sport after a time out. The Belarus international took time out to give birth to her first child but after just six weeks, she has returned to the gym.
Azarenka, 27, has confirmed that she hopes to be ready for the summer and in time for the US Open. She recently met with world number one Serena Williams. The stars took picture that quickly circulated in the media.
“I always enjoy our meetings on and off the court! Always love for @serenawilliams,” Azarenka posted on her Instagram handle.
Azaranka – who lives and trains in California – told Tennis Channel Victoria that she hopes to make an impression at the US Open despite her time out. She ranks low but she remains in the WTA top 20 list. Read more »
The finals of the first Grand Slam of 2016 had seen two beautiful tennis stars go head on into the match at the Australian Open, with Angelique Kerber on one side, and Serena Williams on the other.
Serena Williams had roared into the game, which was the first Grand Slam of 2016, in a bid to shake off the disappointment after falling two matches short of the Calendar Year Grand Slam.
Williams had saved her most dominant performance without dropping a set, for the semifinal. There, she had lost just four games to the reigning BNP Paribas WTA Finals Singapore presented by Agnieszka Radwanska, SC Global Champion.
In the Championship Match on the other side of the net, was Angelique Kerber, the German veteran who for the first time was in her first major final despite playing the best tennis of her career Read more »
Victoria Azarenka is pretty upset about the comment that Nick Kyrgios made during his match versus Stanislas Wawrinka the other day.
Kyrgios said something very disrespectful about Wawrinka’s girlfriend and his words were heard by the television spectators all around the world through the microphone.
There has been criticism coming from all quarters for Kyrgios for his act.
Azarenka also joined in the row yesterday to slam the 20-year old.
Azarenka strongly condemned Kyrgios on a social networking site.
In the words of the Belarusian beauty, “In any sports in the world, the first and foremost thing is to have some respect for the opposition. Whoever you are, you have got to be respectful.”
“You should at least care about the fact that the microphone is there and millions of people are watching the action live.”
Wawrinka himself also seemed to be in a state of shock to hear what Kyrgios passed to him.
The Switzerland international, who won the French Open earlier this season, also took to the same social networking site as Azarenka to show his disappointment.
Wawrinka’s words were, “It’s quite hard for me to believe that a professional athlete went down to that level. It’s certainly not acceptable. I believe the people running the game would have taken notice of that and I am hopeful of them going to take immediate action.” Read more »

Yesterday, Victoria Azarenka took Sloane Stephens on there at Melbourne Park after a gap of two years.
When the encounter had taken place between the two last time around, the Belarusian was in the top bracket of the world rankings. This time around, she was without any seed.
But, still, the result happened to be the same. It was again an easy straight set win for Azarenka with which she cruised to round no. 2.
Despite her being lower in the rankings than her American opponent, Azarenka was always the favourite, but, one would not have anticipated the win coming this easy for her. Read more »
