Tennis has finally returned after several months and currently, the US events are being played. As with any sport, the players have to practice before they play the actual tournament. But from the looks of it, they aren’t cleaning up after themselves post-practice, something Belarusian star Victoria Azarenka isn’t happy about it.

Victoria Azarenka Wants A Clean Tennis Court

Azarenka took a video of all the trash that she saw on the tennis court. There was a lot of plastic, some water bottles, and even some towels. The Belarusian was furious about this as she said, “You know, whoever players are playing on court… just clean your sh*t up. Let’s keep our courts clean. This is disgusting.”

Azarenka went on to give a tutorial on how a tennis court should be kept clean. To drive her point home, she even took a bottle and showed just how easy it was to put it into a dustbin. One can only hope other players learn a thing or two from her tutorial!

While Azarenka was bothered by the lack of cleanliness on the court, she didn’t let that affect her practice and it clearly showed in her match. At the Cincinnati Open, the Belarusian won her first battle against Donna Vekic in straight sets. Since she hasn’t been doing too well for the past few years, this victory must have been extra sweet.

Back in 2012-13, the Belarusian was one of the best players in the world. She won two Grand Slams at the Australian Open. In addition to that, she also became World No. 1. Unfortunately, that was the last time fans saw her at the top of tennis.

Due to injuries and personal issues, Azarenka dropped in the rankings and has since then been trying to make a comeback.
