Victoria Azarenka followed through her upset of Kim Clijsters in the quarterfinals with a straight set win over Marion Bartoli today. The Belarus advanced to her second final appearance of the year.
She lost earlier this year to Venus Williams at in Dubai. Since that final loss, she never got past the quarterfinals of any of the events she entered.
Azarenka also has lost in the first and second round of the five previous tournaments she played heading into Eastbourne. This will definitely boost her confidence for Wimbledon.
