Vika Azarenka had a great tournament till the quarters. The former world no.1 then had a rather bad match against a good Ekaterina Makarova: the explanation was “food poisoning”.
According to Vika’s PR team, Azarenka couldn’t train before the quarters because of food poisoning. Vika was vomiting and she was rather unwell.
Azarenka: I give full credit to my opponent
Vika followed a “no-excuse policy” to comment “No, I didn’t practice yesterday. Guys, I’m not going to make excuses for myself. You can ask me 20 times the same question. I’m not going to make any excuses today. As I said, I did the best I could today. I want to give full credit to my opponent. She deserves to win. She played much better than me today. That’s it.”
Bad luck. Food poisoning yesterday didn’t help to be in the right conditions for today @vika7 #USOpen2014 @usopen good fight anyway. Next
