MIAMI, FL, USA - As Victoria Azarenka gears up for a showdown with Maria Sharapova in Saturday's Sony Ericsson Open final, it's an opportune time to explore her career history against Russians. She is 25-29 for a win percentage of 46.3% against Russians compared to 183-67 for a win percentage of 73.2% against everyone else. There's no shame in that, though, considering several of those Russians are former No.1s and/or Grand Slam winners. Also, she is on a four match winning streak against Russians, the best of her career, including her fourth round and semifinal matches this week in Miami.
