Azarenka moves into Italian Open quarterfinal

Friday, 17 May 2019

Belarus' world number 51 progressed to her first Internazionali BNL d'Italia quarterfinal since 2015 after Spain's world number 19 Garbine Muguruza was forced to retire due to a left thigh injury, BelTA has learned.

The Belarusian won the first set 6-4. In the second, with Victoria Azarenka's leading 3-1, the Spanish player was forced to withdraw due to an injury.

The Belarusian cruised past China's world number 48 Zhang Shuai 6-2, 6-1 in the opener. In the second round the Belarusian battled through Ukraine's world number 6 Elina Svitolina 4-6, 6-1, 7-5.

Victoria Azarenka will next play either Czech Republic's world number 7 Karolina Pliskova or world number 37 Sofia Kenin from the United States.
