Azarenka, a two-time Australian Open champion, has lost 17 games and will next meet 30th-seeded Belinda Bencic of Switzerland. This time she’ll face 20th-seeded Garbine Muguruza of Spain, who needed to win a marathon tiebreaker before beating ex- semifinalist Angelique Kerber 7-6 (12), 1-6, 6-2.
“You can’t underestimate anyone’s level”, Sharapova said.
