Azarenka Has Struggled to Make Deep Runs Since the Aus Open
After withdrawing from the grass court season last year, Victoria Azarenka is returning this year.
Last year, Azarenka had withdrawn from the grass season as there was a ban on Russian and Belarusian players at Wimbledon.
This year, she begins her grass season in ‘s-Hertogenbosch, where she makes her second appearance following her first round exit from the tournament in 2007.
The Belarusian world no. 18 brings a 13-10 season record into the tournament. She had started well by reaching the semifinal of the Australian Open and was also a quarterfinalist in Adelaide. But has been out of form ever since the Australian Open.
In fact, Azarenka has not even reached the quarterfinals ever since the first major, which means she has gone eight tournaments without making the last eight. Most recently, she was knocked out of the French Open in the first round by Bianca Andreescu.
She will look to overcome the Paris disappointment quickly and make a bright start on grass.
