At the Mallorca Open, former world No.1 Victoria Azarenka, playing her first match as a mom and after 11 months away from the WTA tour, confidently won the first set, then frustration and errors appeared in the second set, while her opponent, world No.74 Risa Ozaki of Japan, had the upper hand during most of the third set when the match got transferred to Wednesday because of darkness.
Wearing her signature tank, shorts and headband combo (haven’t we missed Vika in shorts?!), this time from Nike’s latest paint-stained collection, the two-time Grand Slam champion, currently unranked, stepped out onto Pista Central and flawlessly opened the comeback match by breaking Ozaki’s serve, followed by a love hold.
