Azarenka Rejoins Top 20
It is the best start to a season for Victoria Azarenka since 2013. That year, she won the second of her two Grand Slams at the Australian Open.
And Azarenka nearly emulated that feat from 10 years ago, coming within one match from reaching the final. The Belarusian star scored wins over the likes of Madison Keys and number three seed Jessica Pegula. But ultimately came up short in the semifinal where she lost to Elena Rybakina.
At 33, Azarenka is balancing life as a parent and playing at the top level, which is a testament to her dedication and discipline. Following her thrilling start to the season, she has vaulted to inside the top 20 in the WTA rankings, sitting at No. 16.
Azarenka has earned a wild card into the draw but she has landed in the same section as defending champion Iga Swiatek whom she could meet in the third round.

Another Wild Card for Ipek Oz
Ipek Oz has never been ranked higher than 163 in the WTA rankings. That has only enabled her to qualify at low-tier ITF tournaments where she has played about 250 matches in her career.
Oz has fared decently there, winning four titles-all on clay, a surface she regards her forte.
At Tour level, she has played nine times, winning on four occasions, reaching the second round in Bogota as a qualifier last season.
In 2023, Oz has been playing the qualifying rounds at almost every tournament including the Canberra ITF at the turn of the year. She is 1-3 coming to Doha and hasn’t played since losing to En shuo Lang in Hua Hin.
This will be the second time she has been granted a wild card at the Qatar Open. Last year, she lost in straight sets to Madison Brengle.
Azarenka v Oz Prediction and Tip
