Azarenka still friends with Radwanska after comments
After Victoria Azarenka beat Agnieszka Radwanska in the Doha semifinals, she eventually went on to become champion at the event and have an undefeated record for 2012. However, the Polish number one had some complaints about Azarenka’s on-court antics.
This time it wasn’t about the grunting, but rather about the injury that Azarenka sustained throughout the tournament. Radwanska stated that Azarenka used the injury as a cover-up and was bluffing to everyone about her body health.
Azarenka is known for her no-nonsense attitude and apathy towards fellow players, but showed no sign of anger or resentment towards Radwanka. They are good friends off the court and here is a what she had to say about the situation:
“I still see her as a friend, but what could I do?”
“I wouldn’t have pulled out if I wasn’t hurting. I don’t believe in making comments about opponents. There are so many people on this planet that there are bound to be conflicting opinions and there’s nothing more that can be said.”
Showing signs of coolness towards such rancor might be unusual when it comes to Azarenka, but hopefully she has learned how to control her inner beast and release it only on the tennis court.
Agnieszka Radwanska Wins Dubai WTA Title Over Julia Georges
Agnieszska Radwanska has won an amazing final at the Dubai Tennis Championships. Radwanska defeated Julia Georges 7-5 6-4.
“I was pretty close to losing in the first round, so I’m extremely happy right now. Tonight I think I was just better in a couple points, to be honest. In the important moments I was more consistent. The conditions were a little bit difficult during the match, but I stayed calm until the end.
p.s. Congratulations to Julia Georges for an amazing tournament.. she had some great wins and its brilliant to see her playing some great tennis again.
Kim Clijsters and Victoria Azarenka Storm into Australian Open 2012 Seminfinals
Kim Clijsters and Victoria Azarenka have made their way into the Australian Open 2012 semifinals. Azarenka has a close first set, but then turned up the head to win in three sets, 6-7, 6-0, 6-2 against Agnieszka Radwanska. While Kim Clijsters pushed past Caroline Wozniacki 6-2 7-6.
This now means we will have a new number 1 female player in the world after the Australian Open.
Six Women Fight for Australian Open 2012 Title and World Number 1 Ranking
The Australian Open 2012 is the first Grand Slam of the year and it is going to be amazingly exciting. Six players on the womens side have the ability to finish the tournament with the World Number 1 ranking.
Victoria Azarenka, Maria Sharapova, Sam Stosur and Agnieszka Radwanska could also take the top ranking, but the No. 2-ranked Kvitova is the favorite.
Caroline Wozniacki currently holds the top spot, but with her poor run in Grand Slams I doubt highly that she will be number 1 when the tournament ends.
French Open Day 9 Round Up
Mens Singles:
Rafael Nadal is playing some great tennis when it matters. Nadal swept aside Ivan Ljubicic in straight sets 7-5 6-3 6-3. Additionally, Robin Soderling performed very well today and knocked out Gilles Simon in straight sets 6-2 6-3 7-6. That now setups a Soderling and Nadal quarterfinal! Im really looking forward to seeing if Soderling can knock out Nadal yet again.
In the other two match Juan Ignacio Chela defeated Alejandro Falla 4-6 6-2 1-6 7-6 6-2, while Gael Monfils defeated David Ferrer 6-4 2-6 7-5 1-6 8-6.
Womens Singles:
Sharapova seems to be continuing her run with a 7-6 7-5 win over Agnieszka Radwanska. There were other strong results from Victoria Azarenka, Andrea Petkovic and Na Li.
Its amazing to see Na Li performing amazingly well after a layoff from tennis.
Agnieszka Radwanska Signs Sponsorship Deal with Longines
There are so many players signing some great sponsorship deals lately and Agnieszka Radwanska has now joined the crowd. Radwanska who is now the world number 12 signed a sponsorship deal with Longines the Swiss watch manufacturer.
“It’s a privilege to be a Longines Ambassador of Elegance,” said Radwanska, who has joined legendary tennis couple, Andre Agassi and Steffi Graf, in the family of Longines partners.
Sponsorship deals like this really make me wonder who is running companies like Longines and deciding that providing tennis players with sponsorships is really going to help them sell more watches. I can see that providing one of the top 5 players in the world with sponsorships might be a good idea, but only if you can get this is some advertising campaigns in return, thus providing a top quality brand image. However, im sure Radwanska by herself wont help Longines to sell any more of their world famous watches!
