Azarenka is so (not) humble

Vera Zvonareva defeated Victoria Azarenka 6-3, 6-3 to advance into the final of the BNP Paribas Open in Indian Wells. Azarenka wasn't too impressed with her form, and pulled a "Serena".....

Here is a direct quote from Azarenka's 2009 Indian Wells interview after losing (via Heraldnet):

"I didn't do even 10 percent of my game today. It was a wasted match"

Unfortunately, Zvonareva didn't respond with a b1tchy comment. C'mon WTA, we need a catfight to spice things up after the horrible performances these past few weeks :P

Continue reading this post for photos of (in order): Gilles Simon, Vera Zvonareva, Serena Williams (and her diamond necklace), Lucie Safarova, Agnieszka Radwanska, David Nalbandian, Novak Djokovic and the Bryan brothers.



Lucie is a pretty girl in real life, but her photos never seem to turn out right (this particular one reminds me of the Exorcist girl walking backwards down the stairs).
