World No.8 Victoria Azarenka of Belarus failed to progress to the third round of the Wimbledon tournament losing 3-6, 6-3, 5-7 to Serbia’s Bojana Jovanovski (45). The match lasted for 129 minutes. The opponents traded same-score victories in the first two sets. The final set was a tough battle with Azarenka eliminating Jovanovski’s lead two times. The luck, however, was on the Serb’s side as she pulled herself together to take two games in row and win the match. In the opener Victoria Azarenka defeated Mirjana Lucic-Baroni (108) 6-3, 7-5. Olga Govortsova of Belarus (110) lost her opener to Spanish Silvia Soler-Espinosa (74) 2-6, 3-6.
