Pictures of Victoria Azarenka by the beach taken by her new boyfriend?

Victoria Azarenka’s fans have been speculating about a boyfriend and probably her sexy picture was taken by him.

Victoria Azarenka had a good run in 2020 when the tournaments were back. The erstwhile world top seed won the Western & Southern Open before reaching the 2020 US Open final where she was defeated by the all mighty Naomi Osaka. Later Victoria Azarenka was also the finalist in Ostrava.

Unfortunately, Azarenka has started off on the wrong foot in 2021 as she lost in the opening round match at the 2021 Australian Open and she couldn’t go beyond the quarterfinal in a warm-up event.

Azarenka decided to take some time off and to relax before heading to Doha where she has a wild card entry. In the meantime, Azarenka posted a scorching picture showing off her toned body while in a bikini. Azarenka has accumulated a record 23 thousand likes (and counting) as her fans shower her with the right response.

About Victoria Azarenka’s boyfriends

Victoria Azarenka had a rather complex romantic life. The Bielrussian used to be associated for long with popular singer Redfoo before being seen around with Billy Mckeague. They had a son together, but things didn’t really workout for them and sadly they found themselves fighting for custody.

Azarenka is currently believed to be dating 22-year-old Humberto Lobo Guerra, a player from Mexico. Since her latest post was in Spanish (“Y mi vida giró”) fans are speculating that it was taken someplace in Mexico it is reasonable to think that Vika and Humberto are together.

Victoria Azarenka Statistics in 2021

Presently ranked at world no.14, Azarenka last featured on the professional tennis turf on the 9th of February when she succumbed to Jessica Pegula 7-5 6-4 in the 1st round of the 2021 Australian Open.

Currently the Belarussian has managed to achieve a 1-1 record, but the entire 2021 season lies in front of her.

Nadal’s back injury is a problem | Medvedev & Tsitsipas will be the top seeds in Rotterdam

February 25, 2021 Nirmal Sawlani Daniil Medvedev Rafael Nadal Stefanos Tsitsipas

Nadal’s back injury is a problem. Injured Nadal retracts from Rotterdam. Medvedev , Tsitsipas and Zverev the top players in the draw

Stefanos Tsitsipas, Daniil Medvedev and Alexander Zverev will lead the draw in Rotterdam after the withdrawal of Nadal.

Rafael Nadal will not participate in Rotterdam. The Ruler of Clay was keen to get back to play this tournament after opting to skip his customary tour in Latin America most probably because of the snags caused by the pandemic.

Nadal’s injury and changes in his schedule

Rafa sustained an injury to his back during the 2021 Australian Open. He coped to play the slam in Melbourne, but it appears that the injury was not resolved when back in Spain. Therefore, Rafael Nadal had to adhere to the advice of his doctor not to play the forthcoming ATP 500.

“It is with great unhappiness that I have to forgo my participation at Rotterdam. As most of the fans know, I experienced some back related problems in Melbourne that actually began in Adelaide and continued during 2021 Australian Open. We found an interim solution that permitted me to play without discomfort in the second week of the tournament,”

“Once I got back to Spain I go to see my doctor and jointly with my team they’ve recommended not to play this approaching week. I was really looking ahead to coming back to Rotterdam and The Netherlands since it’s been ages since I played there this was the ideal year for my calendar. I hope to play there soon in the near future. All the best to the event, always a top class tournament,” he added.

Will Rafa be Skipping Miami too?

Rafa hasn’t slated any other event in the next few weeks. In principle, he is expected to play the ATP1000 in Miami (22nd of March). However, it is quite likely that he will be back to contests only for the clay-court season to get the best preparation to win another Roland Garros trophy and clinch his 21st slam.

The Rotterdam Open entry list and the main draw

Regrettably, many players withdrawn from the Rotterdam event in the last few days. Many decided to compete as they were still grappling with injuries from Australia. Pablo Carreno Busta and Matteo Berrettini decided not to participate because of their abdominal injury. The tournament will also be missing Taylor Fritz, Denis Shapovalov and Casper Ruud.

As a result, Daniil Medvedev, Stefanos Tsitsipas, and Alexander Zverev will be the top seeds.

Rafael Nadal statistics in 2021

Currently perched comfortably at no.2, Nadal played his last match on the 17th of February when he conceded to Stefanos Tsitsipas 3-6 2-6 7-6(4) 6-4 7-5 in the quarter of the 2021 Australian Open.

At present, during this year Rafael has recorded a 4-1 win-loss record.

Garbine Muguruza was the only competitor adept enough for putting Naomi Osaka in trouble at the Australian Open 2021

In the round of 16, Garbine Muguruza came one step away from victory, but she did not reap the benefit of two match points and totally lost command of the game at the most important moment.

The match culminated with the score of 6-4, 4-6, 5-7 and literally paved the way for Osaka to advance and even win the tournament.

This match between Garbine Muguruza & Naomi Osaka was the turning point of the tournament.

Had Garbine Muguruza played her natural game all through she could have defeated Naomi Osaka.

And if that was the way things turned out at the round of 16, then the coast was clear for Muguruza to progress to the finals and eventually grab the title.

Muguruza has now gone past the disappointed of the Australian Open loss and having put that behind her she is back to being her fun self.

Her latest video post on Instagram has charmed her fans. The 27-year-old is seen in this video preparing a smoothie and twirling in sync with the notes of Gérant, a popular Latin American song.

Naomi Osaka unites with veteran Serena Williams as part-owner of the North Carolina Courage franchise to boost financial support in the National Women’s Soccer League.

Serena Williams support women off the court

Tennis icon Serena Williams is respected as one of the most decorated stars in women’s tennis. Having won twenty three Grand Slams in women’s singles tennis, she is only behind the legendary Margaret Court when it comes to most Grand Slam wins. She has a gigantic fan following in the United States and has also supported significantly in USA’s progress and initiatives that involve coloured women.

One of Serena’s most important contributions is to the North Carolina Courage, a team in the National Women’s Soccer League (NWSL). Growing star Naomi Osaka recently has partnered with Williams in this initiative and is now part-owner of the franchise. We believe that Serena Williams and Billie Jean King played a role in persuading her to get into this.

She acknowledges Billie Jean King’s text to her and admits that she was inspired by those messages.

After signing pacts with Nike, Nissan, MasterCard and a dozen of other brands, she has received more than $30 million off the court. Osaka is the 1st Japanese player to win a Grand Slam tournament and the 1st Asian player to attain the number one ranking in singles.

Naomi Osaka creates tennis history joins Federer & Seles with first 4 Grand Slam wins record

February 23, 2021 Nirmal Sawlani Naomi Osaka Players Roger Federer

Naomi Osaka creates tennis history joins Federer & Seles with first 4 Grand Slam wins record.

Naomi Osaka’s Australian Open success recently lengthened her undefeated record in Grand Slam finals to 4-0. That has perched the 23-year-old in privileged company, as she joined Monica Seles and Roger Federer to become the only players in the Open Era to win their first 4 Grand Slam finals.

Understandably, Naomi Osaka was thrilled to learn about the unique milestone.

“My response is that that’s extremely amazing company,” Naomi Osaka reacted when she was informed about the record. “I wish that I can have one grain of how Monica Seles and Roger Federer’s careers have unfolded. You can only hope and you can just keep going down your own route. But it’s certainly something crazy to get to know.”

While both Monica Seles and Roger Federer started by triumphing into their first four Grand Slam finals, neither player was able to retain their 100% record on the biggest stage. Federer went on to prolong his winning run to 7 Grand Slam finals, before dropping a match to Rafael Nadal in the 2006 French Open final.

Seles, on the other hand, secured the first 6 Grand Slam finals she contested, before going down to Steffi Graf in the 1992 Wimbledon women’s singles final. She halted her career with a 9-4 record in Major finals while Federer, who is scheduled to return to the men’s professional tennis next month, has a 20-11 record in Slam finals at this point.

Naomi Osaka also among elite group of ladies in tennis history to have not once lost a Grand Slam final.

While neither Roger Federer nor Monica Seles was able to sustain their 100% record in Grand Slam finals, there have been some players preceding the Open era who went unbeaten in Grand Slam finals all through their respective careers.

Five women, who played earlier than 1968, logged perfect records in Slam finals (considering minimum 5 finals reached). Maureen Connolly, affectionately known as “Little Mo”, leads this stat with a flawless 9-0 record in Grand Slam finals.

Connolly won 9 Majors in the 1950s, including all 4 in 1953. The American’s career culminated suddenly at the young age of 19 when she damaged her leg in a horseback riding mishap.

Daniil Medvedev confesses Djokovic more difficult to play than Nadal

February 23, 2021 Nirmal Sawlani Daniil Medvedev Novak Djokovic Players Rafael Nadal

Daniil Medvedev confesses Djokovic more difficult to play than Nadal.

Daniil Medvedev had a difficult time against Novak Djokovic recently in the 2021 Australian Open final in Melbourne. He has confessed that Djokovic is the most difficult player to play in the world, however he is learning something each time.

Daniil compares Novak Djokovic and Rafael Nadal

Daniil Medvedev has just gone down in straight sets at the 2021 Australian Open final when facing a terrific Novak Djokovic. The Serbian superstar was facing a competitor that many judged to be like him, but much younger. However, Novak proved those opinionated people incorrect again as he showed that he could easily infuse lethal variations in his game strategy. That was precisely what he did versus the Russian ace that looked to be powerless to offer any significant opposition.

Why are experts comparing the Medvedev Djokovic final with the Queen’s Gambit

This was Medvedev’s second final as he squandered last time to Rafael Nadal in the 2019 US Open. That day, Daniil recuperated from a 2-set deficit, but eventually he collapsed in the decider (7-5 6-3 5-7 4-6 6-4).

Daniil was asked to compare both these big loss experiences against 2 of the best in the game.

“I get nearer since I gain experience each time, and that is the point to note. If I play Djokovic again here in the final, I will do things in a different way, on and off the court, because I will recall that mortal defeat; It doesn’t mean that I will inevitably win, but that’s the life of a tennis professional. Let’s say that the loss in New York may have hurt more for the reason that I had more chances to win. But these are two hugely different matches.

Rafael Nadal gives you more time to react on the court. He’s incredible in defence and with his forehand. You think you’ve earned the point and you get mad. But at least you have time to think and react, to acclimatise.

Against Novak, I would have liked to do different things, but he robbed me of time for that, he took the benefit in everything, very swiftly. The match must have lasted 2 hours but it’s as if it took just thirty minutes and presto, I was holding the runners up trophy.”

Daniil Medvedev ranking in 2021

Currently ranked at world no.3 (career-high), Daniil played his last match on the 21st of February when he was overpowered by Novak Djokovic 7-5 6-2 6-2 in the final of the 2021 Australian Open.

This season Medvedev has a constituted 10-1 record. Daniil Medvedev’s latest run at the 2021 Australian Open was the best accomplishment of his season.

Novak Djokovic ranking in 2021

Presently perched at world no.1, the Serbian played his last match on the 21st of February when he routed Daniil Medvedev 7-5 6-2 6-2 in the final of the 2021 Australian Open to win his 82nd career title.

Currently, during this season Djokovic has amassed a 9-0 match record. His season has started with a bang after winning the first slam of the year, the 2021 Australian Open.

Daniil Medvedev and Novak Djokovic competed with each other eight times. Their actual H2H record is 5-3 in favour of Djokovic. Previously, the last time when they clashed, Novak Djokovic won 7-5 6-2 6-2 in the 2021 final in Melbourne (Australian Open) on the 21st of February 2021.

Rafael Nadal ranking in 2021

Currently hovering almost at the top at world no.2, Nadal played his last match on the 17th of February when he was defeated by Stefanos Tsitsipas 3-6 2-6 7-6(4) 6-4 7-5 in the quarter of the 2021 Australian Open.

Strange anomaly in the WTA ranking of Barty, Osaka & Williams

February 22, 2021 Nirmal Sawlani Ashleigh Barty Naomi Osaka Players Serena Williams

Strange anomaly in the WTA ranking of Barty, Osaka & Williams!

Naomi Osaka ranking vs Ashleigh Barty’s ranking

Naomi Osaka is ranked only no.2 in spite of winning two slams while Ashleigh Barty won just two smaller titles in 1 year and a half.

Naomi Osaka has just captured her 2nd Australian Open and fourth career slam. The Japanese champion exhibited remarkable and solid tennis and she is widely deemed to be the face of WTA tennis and the player to beat.

Naomi stands at 2 slams right now and for some bizarre reasons, she is rated only no.2 in the world after Ashleigh Barty who has yet to get a major title to her name. The Australian Ashleigh Barty, in the last year and a half, won just 2 minor titles: one in Adelaide and the Yarra Classic in Melbourne

The justification for this inconsistency is that the WTA decided to protect the rankings because of the pandemic, which made a case for good judgment only until a certain point. But now with the 2021 season underway, it doesn’t seem to reflect the true picture. Fans would like to see the a re-rating based on actual achievements of the players. However, the Women’s Tennis Association have not indicated anything to that effect. On the other hand, the men’s ranking seem to portray the right order.

Serena Williams’ ranking

The American superstar didn’t manage to win the 2021 version of the Australian Open and she bowed down in the semifinal to Naomi Osaka. After her current run, she is back in the top10 to be ranked no.7.

Cristiano Ronaldo presents Andy Murray with a signed Juventus C7 shirt.

Andy Murray made his come back to professional tennis in a Challenger circuit at the Biella Challenger Indoor in northern Italian region of Piedmont.

He was stopped in the finals and was unable to win the title, losing to Illya Marchenko of Ukraine in straight sets.

The Scot is now working to up his fitness levels ahead of the second major of the season at the Roland Garros.

Though Andy Murray’s return to action failed to generate a winner’s prize, he walked away with another prize of sorts. He was privileged to receive a signed Juventus shirt from Cristiano Ronaldo.

Former world top seed Andy Murray made his return to action at the ATP Challenger Tour, Biella Challenger Indoor, in northern Italy – after a positive coronavirus test prohibited him from going to Melbourne for the 2021 Australian Open.

Murray savored defeat at the hands of Ukrainian Illya Marchenko in the final, but he appeared a winner after receiving a autographed shirt from the five-time Ballon d’Or winner.

“Thank you very much Cristiano for the shirt,” Murray said. “I’m a big fan, really appreciate it.”

Murray reciprocated by sending the Juventus and Portugal icon a autographed shirt and a racket he used in the competition.

“Unfortunately I can’t come to watch your match in the next few days, but I signed a shirt for you as well and have one of my rackets that I used this week to give to you as well,” the Brit said. “Thank you very much.”

Naomi Osaka apologizes for unintentional trolling Jennifer Brady

February 21, 2021 Nirmal Sawlani Jennifer Brady Naomi Osaka Spotlight

Naomi Osaka apologizes for unintentional trolling Jennifer Brady.

Naomi Osaka and Jennifer Brady collided in the 2021 Australian Open final, with the Japanese super star winning the competition and claim her 4th slam, the 2nd at Melbourne park.

Naomi had one of her humorous moments during the post championship ceremony.

The Japanese champion asked Brady how she would like to be called (Jennifer or Jenny). The rising American star replied: “Jenny.” However, Naomi was most probably lost in the moment and instead of addressing her Jenny went on to say: “First I want to congratulate Jennifer…”

The obvious reaction was viral and resulting in a widespread troll all over social media, everyone laughed at the gaffe.

Regrettably, the social media and some media channels accused Naomi of deliberately trolling Brady, but the truth is that it was involuntary.

Therefore, Naomi had to take to Twitter to clarify her position and saying that she was sorry about that. “Omg no I promise you my mind thought I called her Jenny in that moment and I was so confused why the crowd was laughing. I’m so sorry,” she posted.

Why are experts comparing the Medvedev Djokovic final with the Queen’s Gambit

February 21, 2021 Nirmal Sawlani Australian Open Daniil Medvedev Novak Djokovic

Why are experts comparing the Medvedev Djokovic final with the Queen’s Gambit ?

Eyeballs will be stuck on Rod Laver Arena on Sunday when red-hot Daniil Medvedev will try to topple World No. 1 Novak Djokovic at the 2021 Australian Open men’s singles title.

Both players have had divergent runs to the final at Melbourne Park. Djokovic, an 8-time Australian Open champion, entered the contest as the man to defeat. But after appearing to damage an oblique muscle in the 3rd round against American Taylor Fritz, there were significant worries he would be able to remain on course towards a 18th major title.

Since then, Djokovic has relished easy wins over Milos Raonic, Alexander Zverev and Aslan Karatsev, and concerns about the enigmatic injury have diminished.

Meanwhile, Daniil Medvedev has carried on his stunning hardcourt form, dictating the outcome in his favour against everyone who has come in his path. The Russian is riding a twenty-match winning stretch on the surface, with eleven of those wins coming against top-10 ranked players. Medvedev is seeking his maiden major title, and if he secures it this weekend in Melbourne, he will soar to the ranking of world No. 2.

What is it going to be the experience factor or the Queen’s Gambit?

Novak Djokovic has the advantage of his experience, but the young Russian does have a Slam final appearance on his résumé.

McEnroe: I like how Djokovic tried to flip it around and put the burden on Medvedev by saying [Medvedev is] the player to defeat. Medvedev might have only competed in one Slam final, but it was a terrific match and he demonstrated incredible determination, guts and stamina to take it to five sets. His strategies were also mostly spot on. If Medvedev fails to win this match, the the only logical explanation would be that Djokovic took the game away from him. I don’t think it will be because of the lack of major final experience or any sort of stage fright.

Cahill: Experience matters for a lot, and I believe Medvedev spoke especially well about it after his final against Rafael Nadal at the US Open two years back. It wasn’t that he played the inappropriate shots, it was just he felt he was short of the experience of being there in that moment. He was down two sets to love and then bounced back with 2 amazing sets in his favour, before Nadal lifted again and won. But now that he has experienced that situation before, he’ll be able to reflect on that and gather a bit more insight, and not be frightened by the finish line, if he gets that chance. That bit of his rich experience will help him. On the other hand, Novak has been there on so many occasions and for him, it’s second nature. For Medvedev, he will still have to push himself through that.

Some experts are comparing the 2021 Australian Open men’s final with the “Queens’ Gambit” where a young star takes out the best and the most experienced in the field. Novak Djokovic has the advantage of his experience, but the young Russian does seem to have the Queen’s Gambit factor playing out!

We have to tune into our television sets or online devices to watch the 2021 Australian Open Final Live and find out (13:30 ET).
