Victoria Azarenka recently experienced a surge in her frustration levels. In her second-round match against Sara Sorribes Tormo, the Belarusian struggled to keep her calm, crying out with anger in the middle of the match. The Spaniard, who earned this spot after defeating Elina Svitolina, managed to gain another win, with a final scoreline of 7-6, 6-3.

However, amid the scare of losing the second set, Azarenka couldn’t contain her anger and therefore, turned her face towards the chair umpire, to raise a plea. According to Azarenka, her Spanish opponent was taking extensive breaks in between every point, which came out to be a trigger point for the 34-year-old.

The match which lasted for more than 2 hours and 20 minutes already, filled Azarenka with anger as her legs weren’t able to cope with the stress that the clay court expert served her with. Azarenka then ended up raising a serious plea towards the supervisor, asking to take a call regarding the 3-second breaks that her opponent consistently took between the points.

While her call was ignored because the breaks weren’t long enough to be charged, the Belarusian had to leave the court with sheer disappointment on her face. This defeat not only ignited discussions about the multiple complaints that Vika came up with but also ended her run for the Madrid Open title.

On the other hand, Sara Sorribes Tormo managed to be consistent in her dominant run by winning her third match without even dropping a single set. As she now looks forward to face the world no.1 Iga Swiatek as her upcoming match rival, it still remains to be seen if she will manage to surpass this challenge.

Extensive timings that caused Victoria Azarenka’s outburst

The match between Victoria Azarenka and Sara Sorribes Tormo tested the physical levels of both players. Lasting for a total of two hours and 50 minutes, the showdown became a tough road for Azarenka, who has already crossed her 30s and therefore would surely have found it hard to cope with the stress on her legs.

The first set itself clocked a massive one hour and 34 minutes which could be hard for any other WTA star to stand with. Besides the age factor, her Spanish opponent also made her run all across the court as her form in this particular tournament has earned her enough confidence to be on top of her levels.
