At the WTA Championships Victoria Azarenka continued her dominance over Samantha Stosur, not giving the Australian even one set in all their five meetings.
The seventh-ranked Stosur excitingly closed the opening day of the WTA Championships with her first win over Maria Sharapova in their ten meetings. Wednesday’s order of play put the Stosur vs. Azarenka match first, and whether Stosur was emotionally and physically tired from her yesterday’s accomplishment or Azarenka was too good, Azarenka crushed Stosur 6-2 6-2, with the Australian showing brief resistance only at the end of this White Group match, by saving three match points.

I don’t understand why Stosur and Sharapova, who finished their match very late last night, were put to play first two matches… It’s not an excuse for their losses, but still…
Poor organisation… what else can be said…
