Azarenka hasn't had the best of seasons this year. She struggled to put together good performances at the Australian Open and the French Open, and Wimbledon's ban on Russian and Belarusian athletes meant she was unable to compete at the Championships. The former World No. 1 recently made it to the Citi Open quarterfinals before Wang Xiyu ended her run. After being unable to compete at the Canadian Open due to her visa getting rejected, she took part in the Western & Southern Open, where she lost to Emma Raducanu in the second round. Following her defeat Azarenka posted on Twitter that she would soon make an announcement, but made no specific indication of what it would be. "Announcement tomorrow," she tweeted. victoria azarenka@vika7Announcement tomorrow …1453104Announcement tomorrow … Tennis fans soon started speculating what her announcement might be about, with the majority of them hinting at her retirement. One user suggested that she would either play doubles with Serena Williams at the upcoming US Open or retire. "She's either retiring or playing double with Serena Williams at the US Open," the user wrote. victoria azarenka@vika7Announcement tomorrow …1461105Announcement tomorrow … Another said that it would be too tough to handle another retirement this year if Azarenka went the same way, and wrote: "I can't survive another retirement this year I stg (swear to god.

In an interview with Tennis.com, the Belarusian opined that the tournament had missed the chance to display the sport's togetherness. She did, however, express hope that another opportunity would arise in the future to do things differently. "I’m on the Player Council, so I can’t completely cut myself off. I take that part of my job very seriously. I think what people missed here was a big opportunity to show how sports can unite. I think we missed that opportunity, but I hope we can still show it," she stated. Azarenka also talked about how her attempt to resolve the matter was ignored. The 33-year-old remarked that the concerned authorities were ignorant and careless and that they brushed off her solutions without any serious discussion. "How did I deal with it? I always try to find a solution that is beyond myself and what can be better because I love to help people. I love to find solutions from difficult situations. I think what was hard was the absolute ignorance and carelessness from the other parties," she said. "I think that was a tough part to digest, because you’re coming in with options, opportunities and your heart, and it’s met with basically a ‘we don’t care', " she added. The next stop for Azarenka is the 2022 US Open, where she will be eying her third Grand Slam singles title. Poll : 0 votes Quick Links More from Sportskeeda Edited by Anirudh × Feedback Thank You!
