Azarenka lifts Miami Open crown

Xinhua, April 3, 2016 Adjust font size:

Two-time Grand Slam winner Victoria Azarenka of Belarus won the Miami Open Saturday after beating Svetlana Kuznetsova 6-3, 6-2.

The error-filled final opened with eight breaks in the first nine games. Azarenka, seeded 13th, turned out to be the steadier side, leaving Russian Kuznetsova, seeded 15th, doing most of the running.

Kuznetsova, ousting 21-time Grand Slam champion and eight-time Miami champion Serena Williams on her way to the final, held serve only twice and hit just eight winners to 23 for Azarenka. Enditem
