Print Edition
Venus Williams upset top-seeded Victoria Azarenka 6-2, 6-4 yesterday to advance to the third round of the Pan Pacific Open in Tokyo, Japan.
Williams, making her first appearance in the Tokyo tournament since 2009, took advantage of six-double faults by Azarenka, who struggled with her game from the outset at Ariake Colosseum.
Azarenka said after the match that she wasn’t well and hadn’t been able to practice for three days.
“She didn’t seem like herself at all,” Williams said. “I am not sure what was bothering her but I hope she feels better.”
Azarenka, who lost to Serena Williams in the final of the US Open, broke Williams to make it 4-4 in the second set after trailing 4-2. But Williams came right back in the next game to go up 5-4 ad then served out to win the match in 1 hour, 21 minutes.
In other second-round matches, second-seeded Agnieszka Radwanska of Poland defeated Canada’s Aleksandra Wozniak 7-6 (5), 6-0. Fourth-seeded Caroline Wozniacki overpowered Flavia Pennetta 6-2, 6-3.
Svetlana Kuznetsova also advanced by beating third-seeded Sara Errani 6-4, 6-4.
Eugenie Bouchard, Jelena Jankovic, Samantha Stosur, Ana Ivanovic, Dominika Cibulkova and Madison Keys also won.
