The Latest on US Open: Azarenka Tops Lepchenko in 4th Round

NEW YORK — The Latest on the US Open (all times local):

1:05 p.m.

Victoria Azarenka has reached the U.S. Open quarterfinals for the fourth straight year.

The two-time Australian Open champion beat 46th-ranked American Varvara Lepchenko 6-3, 6-4 on Monday. Lepchenko was in the fourth round at the U.S. Open for the first time.

Azarenka introduced a new fashion statement to Arthur Ashe Stadium: gauze wrapped around both biceps. She joked in an on-court interview that after throwing around a football Sunday — she does it for fun and to help with her service motion — she wanted to look tough like an NFL player.
