Azarenka digs deep to beat Kalinina in Adelaide
  + stars: | 2023-01-03 | by ( ) www.reuters.com   time to read: +2 min
Jan 3 (Reuters) - Former world number one Victoria Azarenka overcame a shaky start to beat Anhelina Kalinina 7-6(9) 7-6(5) in a gruelling match at the Adelaide International 1 on Tuesday and reach the second round of the WTA 500 tournament. Twice Australian Open champion Azarenka found herself in trouble trailing 5-1 but she summoned up her fighting spirit to save five set points before edging a tense tiebreaker. "When you talk about first matches that are never easy this one was definitely at the top of the list," Azarenka said. Former French Open champion Jelena Ostapenko plays Czech Karolina Pliskova later on Tuesday. Top-seeded American Coco Gauff made short work of Tatjana Maria, beating the Wimbledon semi-finalist 6-4 6-1 to snap a five-match losing streak.
Raducanu's 2022 season has been blighted by different kinds of injuries, ranging from blisters to side strains and hip and back problem, and she was playing in her first semi-final since winning the U.S. Open last year. The trouble started for 19-year-old Raducanu midway through the second set in her first meeting against Latvia's world number 19 Ostapenko when she took an off-court medical timeout to get treatment for a left glute injury. Ostapenko won the Korea Open title in 2017 - the same year she lifted her maiden Grand Slam trophy at Roland Garros - and will meet world number 24 Alexandrova next in Seoul. Second seed Alexandrova advanced to her second final of the season by defeating Germany's Wimbledon semi-finalist Tatjana Maria 6-2 6-4 earlier on Saturday.
