Victoria Azarenka Wins 2012 Qatar Open

Victoria Azarenka did what a No. 1 seed does with her new title.

She won a tournament.

For a second last year, Victoria Azarenka thought about quitting.

This year Azarenka is more than just No. 1 in the world. The number that matters right now is 15.

Compared to Day 2’s uproar of upsets, Day 3 only had a blip on the radar of lost seeds in the 2012 Qatar Open.

No. 14 seeded Svetlana Kuznetsova of Russia was the only seed to lose in the third round of the tournament in Doha. She dropped her match 7-6 (6), 6-3 to Lucie Safarova of the Czech Repubilc. The victory is Safarova’s second upset of a seed in just three rounds. She knocked No. 2 seed Caroline Wozniacki from the tournament in the previous round.

Bye bye, Caroline Wozniacki.

See ya later, Jelena Jankovic.
