Victoria Azarenka Ukir Pencapaian Terbaik sejak 2013

  • Victoria Azarenka melaju ke semifinal setelah mengalahkan Ons Jabeur dengan skor 7-6(9), 6-2.
  • Pencapaian ini menjadi yang tertinggi Victoria Azarenka setelah kali terakhir berhasil menjuarai Cincinnati Open 2013. 
  • Pada babak empat besar, ia akan menghadapi unggulan delapan asal Inggris, Johanna Konta yang sebelumnya menang atas Maria Sakkari (Yunani) dengan Skor 6-4, 6-3.

SKOR.id - Victoria Azarenka tampaknya mendapat keuntungan dari keputusan sejumlah petenis papan atas dunia yang memilih absen di WTA Premier 5 Cincinnati Open (Western & Southern Open) 2020.

Petenis asal Belarus itu berhasil mencapai semifinal untuk kali pertama sejak 2013 setelah mengalahkan wakil Tunisia, Ons Jabeur, di USTA Billie Jean King National Tennis Center, Kamis (27/8/2020) dini hari WIB dengan skor 7-6(9), 6-2.

"Saya pikir pertandingan kali ini sangat menantang, karena saya bertanding melawannya untuk kali pertama,” kata Azarenka, juara Grand Slam Australia Open 2012 dan 2013.

“Awal pertandingan sedikit menyulitkan bagi saya. Saya seperti diserang dengan peluru dari belakang dalam beberapa kesempatan, dan saya seperti tidak bisa menghindar," ucap petenis yang kini ada di peringkat ke-58 dunia itu. 

"Saya cukup terkejut, tetapi dengan sudut pandang yang positif. Ia sangat, sangat berbakat. Saya pernah melihatnya bertanding, tetapi berdiri di seberang netnya tentu berbeda."

Pencapaian ini menjadi yang tertinggi Victoria Azarenka setelah kali terakhir berhasil menjuarai Cincinnati Open 2013. Ketika itu, di pertandingan final, ia mengalahkan Serena Williams (AS) dengan skor 2–6, 6–2, 7–6(6).

Setelah kemenangan tersebut, mantan petenis nomor satu dunia itu memang lebih sering absen di Cincinnati. Terhitung ia hanya dua kali tampil masing-masing pada 2015 dan 2018.

Dengan hasil ini pula, peluang Azarenka untuk kembali meraih gelar terbuka. Sejauh ini Victoria Azarenka seperti belum menemukan sentuhan terbaik. Cincinnati Open juga merupakan turnamen level tertinggi yang diikuti sepanjang musim ini.

Ia harus melewatkan tiga bulan pertama karena alasan pribadi dan lima bulan setelahnya, turnamen tenis sempat terhenti akibat pandemi Covid-19.

Sebelum turun di Cincinnati, Azarenka turun di Monterrey (sebelum pandemi) dan Lexington (setelah pandemi) yang berakhir dengan kekalahan pada laga pembuka. Dua turnamen tersebut memiliki level international atau di bawah Cincinnati Open.

Kini, Azarenka kembali berpeluang untuk meraih gelar juara. Namun pada babak empat besar, Jumat (28/8/2020), perjalanannya diprediksi tidak akan mudah.

Sebab, ia akan berhadapan dengan unggulan kedelapan asal Inggris, Johanna Konta yang sebelumnya menang atas Maria Sakkari (Yunani) dengan Skor 6-4, 6-3.

Jika berhasil melewati semifinal, Azarenka akan berjumpa dengan Elise Mertens (Belgia) yang lolos ke final setelah Naomi Osaka memutuskan mundur dari Cincinnati Open sebagai protes ketidakadilan ras.
