Victoria Azarenka has not been beyond the French Open third round since 2013 AFP/Riccardo AntimianiPARIS: Victoria Azarenka is welcoming the challenge of trying to back up her run to the US Open final with another strong showing at Roland Garros despite just three wins in Paris over the past seven years.
"I feel like especially from last year, I felt that I finally start to kind of finding my rhythm, actually enjoying myself playing on clay, sliding, instead of cussing the clay out every single time I play on it," Azarenka, 31, told reporters on Friday. In four appearances since, she has not advanced beyond the third round and twice lost her opening match.
Azarenka, seeded 10th, is also on course to meet old rival and close friend Serena Williams in the last 16, just weeks after she beat the 23-time Grand Slam winner in their US Open semi-final.
