Azarenka ready to take on all comers

After winning her 23rd consecutive match and fourth title of the year at the BNP Paribas Open at India Swells, Victoria Azarenka says that she wants to take on three elite players whom she hasn’t faced this year: Serena Williams, Petra Kvitova and  Caroline Wozniacki. No. 1 Azarenka has losing records against all of them

"Of course I'd love to play any of them,” she said. "For me, the bigger challenge it is the more exciting it is. That's what I'm looking for.  And the players who I played this year wasn't easy, as well.  But of course I would love to take that challenge."

Azarenka, who has only won one career clay court title, at Marbella last year, also said that she believes she has the game to do well on dirt. "Actually, I think I did pretty well last year on clay," said Azarenka, who also reached the final of the Madrid. “It was the best year for me on clay that I've done before. So I actually like the surface. I'm gonna have a mini preseason before the clay tournaments, and that's it. I'm really looking forward to it. It's another challenge for me, something to go over my limits, taking me out of my comfortable zone, if you can call it that.I really have to push myself to improve in that situation. So there is nothing that's really gonna stop me from improving."
