Victoria Azarenka has explained her decision to wear a Paris Saint-Germain jersey at the Australian Open.
The 33-year-old reached the semi-final stage at Melbourne Park for the first time in a decade on Tuesday and did so with a vintage performance. The veteran defeated in-form Jessica Pegula in straight sets to set up a meeting with the dangerous Elena Rybakina for a spot in the final.
The former world number one donned the jersey of the Ligue 1 giants both before and after the match. The two-time Australian Open winner has worn the kit throughout the tournament so far and last week explained the fashion choice was down to her seven-year-old son Leo, while also mentioning the influence of a footballing icon.
