Victoria Azarenka led the match against Montenegrin Danka Kovinic with 2-1 in the first set when the weather stopped the game.

The players sat down under their umbrellas and were told to wait out the worst of the rain.

Azarenka did not want to do that.

- Are you kidding?

Do not see what is going on?

You do not play so you have no idea what the relationship is.

This is going to be ridiculous, she said.

Even though the official insisted that it would only be a few minutes waiting, the star chose to leave the track.

- I will not sit here.

I'm going to be frozen.

It's eight degrees.

I live in Florida, I'm used to the heat, she said before putting on her pink down jacket and leaving.

She also asked her opponent if she wanted to wait outside and when she answered "no" she went too.

The match was thus broken.

It is still unclear if there will be any penalties for the players.

The match between Margarita Gasparyan and Elise Mertens has also been broken due to the bad weather.

Azarenka is tenth seeded in the tournament and is said to be in good shape when she played the final in the US Open two weeks ago.
