Returning to Rod Laver Arena in Melbourne after last year's appearance in the final, the Slovak tennis player Dominika Cibulková again aims high in the first Grand Slam of the season. On Monday she has defeated the former WTA number one and twice Australian Open champion Victoria Azarenka 6-2 3-6 6-3. "Today was an extremely, extremely good match from my side. I would say it was a high level of tennis. The first set, the way I played, was just really, really - no mistakes. I was going for my shots and I was just doing the right things," commented Cibulková on the successful match. In the fight for the Australian Open semi-finals she will meet Serena Williams.
