At the ongoing Indian Wells Open, Serena Williams defeated former world number one Victoria Azarenka 7-5 6-3 to move to the third round.
Victoria Azarenka is a good friend of Serena Williams, "it's hard to play somebody you're so close to, it's also invigorating," Serena said.

Indian Wells Open is the first tournament for Serena since her quarter-final exit at the Australian Open and was able to defeat former world number one, Victoria Azarenka, a longtime rival.
