Victoria Azarenka was apparently a little annoyed on Monday as she hadn’t had her usual coffee in the morning, and yet this didn’t stop her from demolishing British hopeful Heather Watson in round one. The world No. 3 lived up to her billing against Watson, dominating the clash throughout to clinch a deserved 6-1, 6-0 win.

Azarenka feels that she should be regularly challenging for slam titles now. “This is always the goal,” she stated recently. “For me, I am such a competitor that I always put challenges on myself. But I try to go step-by-step and I cannot jump ahead.”

The Belarusian is arguably in with a real chance of winning the slam here in Melbourne, but she’s trying to stay level headed. “I'm not really approaching it that way,” revealed Azarenka. “I'm approaching it day-by-day because every day is different. Sometimes you feel great, sometimes you feel sleepy, sometimes you feel energetic like crazy.”

Azarenka will now face Australian outsider Casey Dellacqua in round two. Dellacqua will be keen to impress the home crowd, but a win against the third seed seems very unlikely. Azarenka should get through in two sets here.
