Belarusian tennis player Victoria Azarenko commenting on the victory over the Russian Anastasia Pavlyuchenkova in the first round of the tournament in Dubai, she said she was happy to find the athlete after an injury.
On Monday, Azarenka beat Pavlyuchenkova 6:3, 7:5. In May, the Russian ended the 2022 season ahead of schedule, the 31-year-old athlete’s first tournament after the injury was the competition in Adelaide in January 2023.
– I’m happy to win, of course. It seemed to me that today there were too many ups and downs. It wasn’t very comfortable to steer and then go back and try to restart. I know it’s part of the game, of tennis. But, I just wanted to finish the match a little earlier. Finding a way to win is also very good, especially when you may not be playing your best.
But, yes, Nastya is a great player. I’m very glad she’s back. A good win, but there is definitely something to work on,” Azarenka told a press conference.
In the second round of the Dubai tournament, Azarenka will meet American Amanda Anisimova.
