Open-Near flawless Azarenka stresses title credentials
World number one Victoria Azarenka wasted little time
in outlining her U.S. Open title credentials on Monday as she scorched
to a 6-0 6-1 first round victory over Russia's Alexandra Panova.
The Belarusian, who won her first grand slam title at
the Australian Open in January, was at her very best as she raced
through in just 50 minutes.
Azarenka has yet to go beyond the last 16 at the U.S.
Open but she outclassed world number 76 Panova with a performance full
of power and precision.
The 23-year-old dropped just five points in the first
set and maintained her momentum in the second to cruise into round two.
