Victoria Azarenka Squeaks One Out to Advance to the 4th Round at Australian Open

Australian Open - Women's Third Round

1 Victoria Azarenka d Jamie Hampton - 64 46 62

Boy Vika was crabby in this one.

And had Jamie not cracked her back she may have pulled off the upset.

Jamie post match:  I hurt my back last year at the French pretty badly.

It's something I deal with day to day, and yeah, it was hurting.

Normally when my back starts up, I start cramping.

I'm not sure exactly how the ranking points are shaping up but...

Vika is going to at least get to the final to keep her #1.

And she is heading toward a Sf showdown with Serena Williams.

Hmmmmmm.
