Women tennis' world number two Victoria Azarenka has said
that she is battling to get her fitness back on track after a disappointing
2013 as she prepared to face world number one Serena Williams in an exhibition
match in Thailand.
The
Belarussian, a two-time Australian Open champion who ended 2013 with just three
titles, will start her 2014 season with a return to Brisbane where she was
forced to withdraw from the semi-finals a year earlier due to a toe infection
on her right foot.
According to
Sport24, Azarenka, who hit the catwalk for a special fashion show in Thailand
along with Williams, said that she is hoping for a victory in Thailand to bring
her good luck again in Melbourne, for which she is working hard to keep up her
fitness.
Azarenka has
won just three of her 16 meetings against Williams, although she split their
four clashes in 2013 and for a second successive season took her great rival to
three sets in the US Open final, the report added.
