Azarenka too good for Teichmann

No.24 seed Victoria Azarenka blew past Switzerland’s Jil Teichmann 6-1, 6-2 on day three of the Australian Open in Melbourne in 72 minutes.

Teichmann was never in the match, despite her No. 34 ranking as Azarenka dominated return serve, never letting the Swiss get a grip.

Azarenka claimed 79 per cent of points (19-for 24) in the match and never lost her poise, converting all four break points.
