So world no.1 Victoria Azarenka finally succumb to world no.2 Maria Sharapova in the semi final of WTA Istanbul 4-6, 2-6 Saturday today.
World no.1 Azarenka and world no.4 Radwanska ousted form Istanbul
Although Azarenka secured her no.1 ranking by beating Chinese Na Li Friday she failed to beat Sharapova despite having had an upper edge of 7-4 over the Russian in their eleven previous encounters. Azarenka had recently beat Sharapova in the Beijing final 6-3, 6-1, a score that speaks how easily Azarenka overpowered Sharapova.
But today, it was different - rather reverse and revenge match by Sharapova who simply outclassed the world no.1 in starlight and easily won sets. Perhaps this loss saved Azarenka of being mauled by Serena in the finals as she did in the US Open recently.
In the other semifinal, US and Wimbledon champion and London Olympics Gold medalist American Serena Williams beat Radwanska 6-2, 6-1.
