Azarenka finds sizzling form in Acapulco

Victoria Azarenka started off on fire in Acapulco. On Tuesday, she dismissed Australian Open semifinalist and No. 2 seed Danielle Collins, 6-1, 6-2.

Azarenka is looking to turn her 2019 season around after a 1-3 start. She'll play fellow mom Tatjana Maria on Wednesday night.

"It changed my life upside down in a good way because I have a different purpose," Azarenka said about becoming a mother. "I always say that being a tennis player in an individual sport you think about yourself. When you become a parent it's never about you anymore."

The Belarusian's hard work is paying off.

"For me it's very important to do a lot of work off court that I'm focused on right now and to bring it on the court," she said. "I'm glad that I'm going in the direction that I feel happy on the court."
