Given her consistent performances on the WTA Tour over the years, Victoria Azarenka being addressed as a vintage tennis player by pundits, journalists and fans alike isn’t something new. However, there are times when she has openly disliked this tag herself. This was particularly evident recently after the 33-year-old tennis player responded with a sarcastic retort when she was addressed as ‘Vintage Victoria.’

The Belarusian tennis player is still active on the tennis circuit, giving tough competition to the other young talents in tennis, irrespective of her advancing years.

Victoria Azarenka’s savage reply to being called a vintage tennis player 

At the moment, the two-time Grand Slam champion is competing in the Charleston Open. She overcame Sloane Stephens, the American tennis player, to advance to the second round. However, during the on-court interview, she explained how she really hated the word vintage and also explained the reason behind her dislike.

She also gave herself a fantastic tag that she thinks perfectly captures her personality on the tennis court. She said, “You know, I hate that word vintage. It makes me feel old and I am just blossoming.”

No athlete, regardless of their background in sports, doesn’t enjoy being constantly reminded of his/her age. Particularly when they are striving to live up to their potential and work on themselves for as long as they wish to. Also, the tennis star from Belarus is very outspoken about her decisions. She once gave a Serena Williams fan a taste of his wrongdoing when the critic accused her of disrespecting the legend.

When Azarenka shutdown a hater with her witty comment 

The 33-year-old tennis player is quite active on her social media accounts. Last year, during a Q&A session over her Instagram account, she shutdown a Serena Williams fan who stated that the Belarusian star is trying to engage in a bitter quarrel with the former tennis legend. She didn’t post any farewell message following the 23-time Grand Slam champion’s retirement.

The two-time Grand Slam champion then thought of a really witty reply to the criticism. She said that having a face-to-face conversation with the American tennis legend is much more meaningful to her than sending a public tweet. She also questioned why people follow you in the first place and then leave critical comments on your feed.
