Victoria Azarenka lost to Veronika Kudermetova in the first round of Adelaide International II – she was seen sporting a PSG jersey.

Victoria Azarenka was spotted in a Paris Saint Germain jersey during her entry for the match against Veronika Kudermetova at the Adelaide International II. She lost the match to higher-ranked Kudermetova 6-2, 6-7, 4-6 but certainly hogged the limelight thanks to her outfit. Azarenka is known to be a big football fan, but it certainly comes as a surprise that the Belarusian star has a soft corner for French football giants, PSG.

In a video shared by WTA’s official handle on Twitter, Azarenka can be seen entering the court in her PSG. It is understood that she supports the club because her all-time favourite player, Lionel Messi plays for the club. PSG also has two other superstars in their ranks, Neymar Jr. and Kylian Mbappe. Azarenka has earlier revealed that she is a big fan of Mbappe and admires his talent.

However, the match didn’t turn out too well for Azarenka. She succumbed to a loss in three sets against Kudermetova and will need to work on her game before the Australian Open starts on January 16.
