Azarenka: Djokovic is Perfection


Victoria Azarenka launched a perfect start to the Australian Open then offered her idea of perfection: Novak Djokovic.

The two-time Australian Open champion won 20 of 22 first-serve points in a 6-0, 6-0 annihilation of Alison Van Uytvanck to roll into the second round.

Azarenka, who has been bothered by foot issues in recent years, said sharpening her movement is a primary goal and cites Djokovic as the perfect mover.

"I really want to have (better movement) as my goal. I'm still reaching for stuff," Azarenka said. "I mean, really what perfect movement for me is looking at Djokovic. I really love to see the way he moves, how fluid he is, how efficient he is, the transition he does.

"For me, that's kind of the goal."

The world No. 1 may well be the ultimate mover, but it's third-ranked Roger Federer who still shakes the fan within the Belarusian.


"I said it many times. Every time I see Roger Federer, I'm so like a fan girl, even when (we) were just chatting at the Kids' Day," Azarenka said.
