World No.1 and reigning Australian Open champion Victoria Azarenka wanted Amelie Mauresmo in her team, and her coach Sam Sumyk made it happen, hiring the Frenchwoman as a consultant.

Samyk revealed:

We would be making a mistake if we were to deprive ourselves of her kind of experience and ability. Amelie is Vika’s choice and from the moment she expressed that wish, I have tried to make it happen.

Here’s how the former No.1 Mauresmo commented on her new cooperation:

Some news from Monaco where I started a work period of 2 weeks a couple days ago with Vika Azarenka! I’m sure it’s gonna be a great adventure and that I can help her by sharing my experience… All the team is amazing and very open with me so thanks to them!
