WTA Berlin 2021: Victoria Azarenka vs Angelique Kerber, Prediction, Live Stream and When & Where to Watch

WTA Berlin 2021 has returned to the women’s tennis tour after 11 years. Moreover, it is ready to host a blockbuster encounter between home favorite Angelique Kerber and two-time Australian Open champion Victoria Azarenka.

The pair will meet in the Round of 16 matches at the tune-up event for Wimbledon. Notably, in their ten prior meetings, they have met only once on grass before in the 2012 London Olympics.

Azarenka has a 9-1 head-to-head lead against Kerber that includes the Olympics. Despite the one-sided past results, the match will inarguably produce some high-quality tennis.

Victoria Azarenka vs. Angelique Kerber: Prediction

Given the on and off performances from both players in 2021, this match might go the distance. However, Azarenka’s extensive skill set would still be burdensome for Kerber to overcome.

But if Kerber manages to find hold of first serves and stay in the rallies, she might force the Belarusian to make errors. However, she might find it difficult to respond to Azarenka’s blistering groundstrokes.

Above all, this is a match not to miss. Let’s see which of the two finds a place in WTA Berlin 2021 quarterfinals.

Prediction: Azarenka to win in three sets.
