ISTANBUL — World No 1 Victoria Azarenka was on Sunday handed a chance to avenge her US Open final defeat to Serena Williams when she was drawn alongside the American at the WTA Championships.
Azarenka and Williams will also face Li Na and Angelique Kerber in the round-robin Red Group at the eight-woman, season-ending tennis event which starts today.
That left Maria Sharapova, another front runner for the title, with a slightly less difficult-looking quartet, even though the White Group includes the defending champion, Petra Kvitova, as well as Agnieszka Radwanska and Sara Errani. — Supersport
