Sidney.
As part of the Adelaide International quarterfinals, the Belarusian tennis player, Victoria Azarenka, the 27th racket of the world, will meet with the Polish athlete, Iga Swiatek. They once played among themselves at the US Open in 2020. That time Victoria won with a score of 2:0. Despite this result, the bookmakers are paired on the side of the Pole.

The 2021 season ended for Azarenka with a defeat by Bandosa in Indian Wells on October 17. The 2022 season began with a match against the same Bandosa in Adelaide. The Belarusian player took confident revenge, allowing the Spaniard to win only five games. In the last 16 of the tournament, Azarenka confidently beat Australian Priscilla Hon, the #236 in the world, in two games. Victoria is in good form.
Honestly, it's been the most chaotic pre-season I've ever had. I was nervous before the tournament, I felt really unprepared. For me to come out here and produce this type of tennis really makes me proud of the competitor I am. It's very easy to find some things you still want to work on, I'm a perfectionist on the court, but for the first match I knew I had a really, really tough opponent, so I was really prepared and I'm glad the way I started the year. Whatever I was working on paid off.
Victoria Azarenka, after beating Badosa
Iga Swiatek
In mid-November 2021, Iga took part in the WTA Finals, where she could not get out of the group but still beat Badosa in the third round. In Adelaide, the Pole has not had any powerful rivals yet - the #421 Saville and the #24 Fernandez, who is now in terrible shape, Swiatek defeated at ease in two sets each. However, we doubt that the Pole will have no problems with overcoming the Belarusian barrier.
Expert Betting Tips
Victoria has difficult opponents in the quarterfinals, but we believe that Swiatek is a piece of cake for Azarenka. Victoria has historically played well in Australia, and she is comfortable here. The current tone of the Belarusian is excellent, judging by how easily she beat Badosa of a WTA top 10. We believe in Victoria's success, but we doubt that the match will turn out to be fleeting.
