Victoria Azarenka lost to Veronika Kudermetova in the first round of Adelaide International II – she was seen sporting a PSG jersey.
Victoria Azarenka was spotted in a Paris Saint Germain jersey during her entry for the match against Veronika Kudermetova at the Adelaide International II. She lost the match to higher-ranked Kudermetova 6-2, 6-7, 4-6 but certainly hogged the limelight thanks to her outfit. Azarenka is known to be a big football fan, but it certainly comes as a surprise that the Belarusian star has a soft corner for French football giants, PSG.
In a video shared by WTA’s official handle on Twitter, Azarenka can be seen entering the court in her PSG. It is understood that she supports the club because her all-time favourite player, Lionel Messi plays for the club. PSG also has two other superstars in their ranks, Neymar Jr. and Kylian Mbappe. Azarenka has earlier revealed that she is a big fan of Mbappe and admires his talent.
However, the match didn’t turn out too well for Azarenka. She succumbed to a loss in three sets against Kudermetova and will need to work on her game before the Australian Open starts on January 16.
Fans were pleasantly surprised to see Azarenka entering the court in a PSG jersey. Let us take a look at some of the reactions on Twitter.
“Noooo @vika7 😆 The most prestigious team in France is @OM_English!”, joked an Olympique Marseille fan.
“Is there no dress code in the womens game anymore”, enquired another fan.
“No Vika, no… I already told you, you support the wrong team”, read a tweet.
“Context, please? Why was she wearing this shirt in the first place? And what was Cicak saying and reacting to? Are there any rules that Azarenka was flouting”, tweeted another confused fan.
