It set up a championship showdown against the Carolina Panthers. Azarenka she found it hard to watch the game as she prepared for a fourth-round clash against Barbora Strycova at the Australian Open, which she won.
"I was emotional the whole morning about it. I turned on the TV while I was having breakfast and I just couldn't look over there because &mdash; you know, I'm a huge sports fan, so when I'm a fan of somebody, I'm a die-hard. I'll get nervous. I get emotional."
