Victoria Azarenka feels for Novak Djokovic after he hit out about speculation surrounding his injury, saying it took her a long time recover from what she believed was unfair treatment from the media.
She cited the controversy that followed her victory over Sloane Stephens in the 2013 Australian Open semifinals.
Facing the media after the match at the time, Azarenka vehemently defended the move amid suggestions she used the medical timeout to break Stephens's concentration as an act of gamesmanship.
