Australian Open 2023: Victoria Azarenka Downs Sofia Kenin in Melbourne

News 18  

Victoria Azarenka beat Sofia Kenin 6-4, 7-6 Monday to become the only former Australian Open champion left in the women’s draw. Azarenka, the 24th seed from Belarus, won her titles at Melbourne Park in 2012 and 2013, while American Kenin prevailed to lift the champion’s Daphne Akhurst Cup in 2020. With 2022 champion Ash Barty and Serena Williams both retired, and 2019 and 2021 winner Naomi Osaka missing because of her pregnancy, it meant Kenin and Azarenka were the only two previous winners in the women’s singles. “I try to work through those emotions but they happen.” Azarenka will face either Leolia Jeanjean of France or Nadia Podoroska of Argentina in the second round.
