This week both the men and women have struggled to hold in equal measure on these atypically slow courts at the BNP Paribas Open. The gritty surfaces have favored those with stamina and the ability to power thru the court. Wednesday’s WTA quarterfinals at Indian Wells were no exception.
No.27 seed Victoria Azarenka [BLR] d. No.19 seed Jessica Pegula [USA] 6-4 6-2
One thing is for sure in Victorian Azarenka’s mind. While on-court decision-making matters, her best decision ever was to have her son, Leo. She spoke on court today about how Leo inspires her, as he sent a photo watching her match and meditating like mommy.
