I recently became a demi-fan of Vika, and as such, it's time for me to share with the Victoria Azarenka community the reports I have written on some of her past matches. I start with the first time I ever saw her play (such as it was): Eastbourne 2008.

2. First-round eyewitness report: Azarenka v Rezaï (Monday 16th June 2008)
--------------------------------------------------
+ Aravane Rezaï d. VICTORIA AZARENKA [5], 6-2 *0-0 retired (left-knee injury)
I had been waiting for some time for my first chance to watch Azarenka play, but I still don't feel that I really have, as she was *2-5 down and taking a medical time-out when I came onto Centre Court after watching Gisela Dulko's match on Court 1. The marshall told me that Azarenka had had a nasty fall.
Azarenka tried to continue with her left knee heavily strapped, but it was obvious that she was in pain as she hobbled through her service-game to drop the first set. After a set-break in which Azarenka discussed the situation with her coach and the trainer, the umpire announced that Azarenka would not be able to continue.
