One match that I enjoyed watching last night was the one between world #1 Victoria Azarenka and up-and-coming player, Andrea Hlavackova! This was the first time I saw the Czech play, and although ranked only #117 in the world, she was obviously playing like a Top 30 player. She even took a set off Azarenka! I also love her groundstrokes and her drop shots and her aggressive play which took her to the net several times. Apparently, she is a Top 10 player in the doubles, that's why she could play like that. It would be great to see her do well in Roland Garros!
