Victoria Azarenka Is In Miami: Will She Or Won’t She Play? |

Despite reports that she had already quit the tournament due to an ankle injury which she has been carrying for a month or more, Victoria Azarenka has not officially withdrawn – though she sounded less than optimistic about her chances of actually playing later in the week. “Well, I’m here,” she said. “That’s at least something.”

The double Australian Open champion has been hampered in her last two tournaments, withdrawing before the start in Dubai last month – along with Serena Williams – and then quitting before her Indian Wells quarter-final last week with Wozniacki. She also quit in the first week of the year in Brisbane, victim of a pedicure gone wrong.

Azarenka says she has no idea if she can play in Miami: “I’m staying optimistic, I think it’s improving day by day. I’m hoping it will get better. We’ll have to see, it’s too early to say (if she can play or not). We will know more at the end of the week.”
