Victoria Azarenka knows what it takes to win the Australian Open winning the Grand Slam twice in singles but this time around, it was Ashleigh Barty's time.
Barty became the first Aussie woman in 44 years to claim the title and Azarenka, who reached the fourth round in Melbourne, was one of those in awe at the World Number One.
"There is just no better tennis player at the moment than Ash Barty. Most complete and focused! The way she is able to put pieces together and add a bit more to her game is absolutely admirable! What an example," said Azarenka on social media.
"Congrats champ to you and all your team."
