Tennis.World.Craze's WTA Match of the Year #13 Victoria Azarenka vs Garbine Muguruza

Victoria Azarenka 7-6, 7-6 Garbine Muguruza (Miami R4)
This match was definitely a match to watch as it was the first ever meeting between Victoria Azarenka and Garbine Muguruza. This match-up may as well be the future main rivalry of the WTA as both players are tipped to stay at the top for many more years.



The match was a thriller, being decided in over 2 hours and in 2 straight tiebreak sets. Muguruza earned set point in the first set, but Azarenka managed to save it and comeback to win the set.


Azarenka then strolled to a 5-2 lead in the second set to look on course for yet another victory, but Muguruza made a spirited comeback to bring the set to a tiebreak to decide its winner. However, Muguruza was not able to carry the momentum into the tiebreak as Azarenka cruised to a great and important victory.
