Belarus’ tennis star Victoria Azarenka stated that she wanted to join the crowd in dancing during the changeover.
The 34-year-old defeated Russia’s Veronika Kudermetova in the round of 16 of the Guadalajara Open in straight sets with a score of 6-2, 6-1.
Azarenka, during her post-match interview, stated jokingly that she wanted to join the crowd in dancing but had to stay focused as there was a match going on.
"The music was playing and the people were dancing and I just wanted to get up and dance with people but I have to stay focused because I still had a match to play. But I was just like, 'Can we get some music so I can dance a little bit with everybody'," she said.
Azarenka is now set to face off against France’s Caroline Garcia in the quarterfinal of the competition on Friday.
The Minsk-born will be hoping to continue her winning run in the competition after having a rather disappointing end to her season despite starting promisingly in the Australian Open where she suffered a defeat in the semifinal to Elena Rybakina with a score of 7-6, 6-3.
In the recently concluded US Open, Azarenka was knocked out from the second round after losing to China’s Zhu Lin in straight sets with a score of 6-3, 6-3.
