Victoria Azarenka gave an interview to the television program Today, where he spoke from the hotel room where he has been quarantined to play at the 2021 Australian Open, a tournament starting February 8.
A few days ago, the Belarusian player wrote a letter asking for reassurance from the tennis players who are incarcerated and who harshly criticize the conditions in which they are: “I did it with the sole purpose of reassuring people and asking the players to be aware of the conditions. These are very complicated moments for everyone, and simply we need to support each other and feel a little more empathy for other people. “
The number 13 on the WTA ranking also confessed that she had it very badly during the first days in Melbourne: “To be honest, I was very depressed on the first day of quarantine. I’ve never heard of Zero Day. Mentally it was a bit of a challenge for me to understand everything that was going on around me. I cried a little too, but as time went on I got more used to the situation and moved on. “
