Ivanovic’s ‘winning streak’ to end against Azarenka?

Question

Ana Ivanovic won her opening match at the Italian Open, but Victoria Azarenka is next. Does the Serb have any chance of winning this one?

Answer 1

Well I make Ana a live underdog here. Aza has been much the better player over the last 18 months, but is capable of putting in some atrocious performances

With home support I fancy Ana to take at least one set here

Answer 2

Azarenka holds a 1-0 lead over Ivanovic, with that win coming at the French Open last year. While we’ve seen patches of Ivanovic’s best in the first round, she’ll need to produce her top game consistently to be a chance against Azarenka. We’ll settle for an honourable loss.
