NEW YORK: Victoria Azarenka saw her 17th attempt at winning the U.S. Open come to a disappointing end on Friday as unseeded Wang Yafan downed the veteran 20th seed 6-4 3-6 6-1 on the New York hard court.
A polished Wang bested the two-time major winner in lengthy exchanges to extend her deepest ever run at a Grand Slam.
Azarenka, a three-time U.S. Open runner-up, committed 32 unforced errors and dropped serve six times in the two hour 22 minute battle. (Reuters)
