At the 2020 US Open, we have seen Victoria Azarenka make a stunning comeback. After many years, it finally looks like she has found her rhythm as she thrashed many of her opponents.

It is great to see the Belarusian back in form, but it would not have been possible had she quit tennis. She recently revealed that there were many times she wanted to do so, and she also revealed the reason behind it.

After winning her match in the round of 16, Victoria Azarenka answered many questions in the post-match interview. There, she talked about how she had wanted to quit tennis, but she tried to avoid the reason. However, she ultimately opened up about it.

“My personal situation with my family. That had to be resolved, so… I’m not going to get into that more because that’s not a public matter. It’s my family. That’s always going to stay private.”

Victoria Azarenka looking for a big win

Her personal issues are the reason Azarenka lost her position at the top of tennis. Back in 2012, she looked unstoppable as she had won 2 Grand Slams and an Olympic Bronze Medal. She hasn’t achieved so much in a long time and that is what’s motivating her at the 2020 US Open.
