The Latest: Azarenka reaches 3rd round at Wimbledon

LONDON (AP) The Latest from Wimbledon (all times local):

1:25 p.m.

Victoria Azarenka is back in the third round at Wimbledon.

The two-time semifinalist at the All England Club beat 15th-seeded Elena Vesnina 6-3, 6-3 on No. 3 Court.

Azarenka recently returned to action after giving birth in December. Wednesday’s match was only her fourth of the season. She missed last year’s tournament because of injury and hasn’t played at a Grand Slam event since the 2016 French Open.

Azarenka, a former No. 1 but unseeded at Wimbledon, will next face Heather Watson.
