Serena Williams: I am Azarenka's fan

According to Williams, Victoria is a great player as she wins Grand Slam tournaments. "I think it's a good rivalry. I'm No.1. She's No.2. So we have a rivalry that consists of meeting in the final, which makes it even more exciting. It's good to have someone out there that can play hard and fight so tough out there," says the younger Williams sister.

She has also said that she has good relations with Victoria and supports her at the tournaments. "I'm a big Victoria fan. Whenever I'm not at a tournament, I root for her. I think she's just the ultimate competitor on the court and just really nice too. I mean, I really get along with her. She's definitely just a great person," quotes the WTA official website.

Yesterday, the Belarusian defeated the American in the Cincinnati final thriller. The game was hard and lasted for 2,5 hours.
