Melbourne, Jan 24:  Victoria Azarenka overcame some anxiety, a sore left knee, and a slew of frustrating forehand errors before defeating American teenager Sloane Stephens to reach the Australian Open final against Li Na.




For the second time in two days, 19-year-old Stephens sat patiently on a courtside chair during a medical timeout by an experienced, older player late in the second set.

On Thursday, the top-seeded Azarenka asked for a medical timeout after wasting five match points with a sequence of forehand errors but returned to quickly finish off a 6-1, 6-4 win on her sixth match point.
