Azarenka ousts Bartoli to win in Brisbane

In Brisbane on Saturday, there was a battle between a Belorussian and Frenchwoman for the title, and it was Victoria Azarenka, the Belorussian, who took the trophy home, winning to Marion Bartoli in easy straight sets.

Although No. 2 seed Azarenka didn't lose a set during the week, she still had some tough challenges, such as winning to Jarmila Gajdosova in the second round 76(4) 75, and winning to Lucie Safarova in the quarterfinals 76(5) 64.

Azarenka came out on Saturday to win to No. 3 seed Bartoli easily 63 61.

Well, Russians will always prevail. I was sure that Azarenka will grab the title.

Yeah, she was playing really well in the semis, so it was a bit obvious.
