After her 6-0, 6-2 win over Agnieszka Radwanska in the quarterfinals of the BNP Paribas Open at Indian Wells, Victoria Azarenka alludes to the Pole's criticism of her in Dubai, when she accused the victorious Belarussian of exaggerating injuries and said: "I don't think those kind of behavior is a good image for women's tennis."
On Wednesday at Indian Wells after her quick win, Azarenka said, "I hope I was a good example of women's tennis."
Azarenka, who is now 21-0 on the year and has beaten Radwanska four times this season, then added: "I think I always give a fair competition. She's the same person, same great player as she was before, and I have tons of respect to her game. I had very good motivation because I knew she's excellent player, so I have to come up with a great match today."
Radwanska said she is over the incident and said complimented her foe, and said Azarenka is "on fire."
"It was the past, and, now is a new tournament, new match," Radwanksa said. "She was just playing for sure one of the best matches against me."
