Azarenka loses to Venus Williams at Tokyo tournament start
The world #2 lost to 33-year-old Williams in two sets - 2:6, 4:6.
The second round game (Victoria Azarenka started from this stage) lasted for only 1 hour 21 minutes. The result is sensational, especially taking into consideration the fact that Azarenka was seeded under #1.
Romania's Simona Halep will be the next rival of Venus Williams, ranked 63rd.
