Australian Open Highlights: Azarenka Secures Fourth Consecutive Victory over Ostapenko
Two-time Australian Open champ Victoria Azarenka, seeded 18th, secured her spot in the Round of 16 by defeating 11th-seeded Jelena Ostapenko 6-1, 7-5 at Margaret Court Arena. Azarenka faces qualifier Dayana Yastremska in the next round.
Azarenka's win marked her fourth consecutive victory against Ostapenko, maintaining her dominance, including a recent win in Brisbane. Despite Ostapenko's resurgence, Azarenka's experience led to a 4-0 record against the Latvian.
Azarenka's success in Australia continues, with 11 trips to the Australian Open's second week. Her two Grand Slam titles were clinched here in 2012 and 2013, making her the third player to achieve 50 career wins at the Australian Open, joining Serena Williams, Venus Williams, Sharapova, Davenport, and Hingis.
Commentator Andrea Petkovic highlighted Azarenka's formidable return game, evident in her swift break of Ostapenko's first service game. Azarenka's strong returns played a crucial role, particularly against Ostapenko's second serve. Azarenka's 76th Top 10 win was sealed with a stellar performance, featuring 11 aces, including three on break points in the final game.
It's worth noting that Azarenka's serve was also in top form, delivering 11 aces, including three on break points in the final game of the match. This victory marks Azarenka's 76th Top 10 win in her illustrious career.
