NEW YORK: Former world number one Victoria Azarenka has likened her U.S. Open accommodation to a"golden prison" where she draws peace of mind from family between matches at Flushing Meadows.
outside of that," Azarenka told reporters after breezing into the second round with a 6-1 6-2 win over Austria's Barbara Haas. "I try to be as cautious as possible for me and my family, for my team. But if I will sit here and say that it's amazing, it's not. It sucks. But it is what it is."While having never won the title, Azarenka has an impressive history at Flushing Meadows dating back to her girls' singles championship in 2005.
She entered this year's tournament as arguably the form player in the women's draw having won the warmup Western and Southern Open last week, albeit by default after Naomi Osaka withdrew from the final with an injured hamstring.
