Vesnina played way above her actual ranking and at times she played out of her skin. Azarenka was pretty wasteful on occasions but to get a straight sets win even with that erratic serving is pretty respectable. Many very good points.
It was a fun match. Much closer than the scoreline suggests, and Vika was lucky to get through it. Elena played about as well as she could. She was playing like a top 10 player for the majority of the second set.
Shame Vesnina doesn't play like this all the time. I was wondering whats been happening with her this year, and then this performance just makes me wonder even more!
I think this match showed why, she is too in and out to be a top player, though her skills and attitude are of a top player, her focus is questionable.
I missed the end of the second set.. but Vesnina was playing really well for her standards! Vika was a bit shaky on serve, but groundstrokes and ROS look great. Powerful, deep and consistent hitting.
