Victoria Azarenka said on Saturday that tennis needs to do a better job of protecting women players after the former coach of French player Fiona Ferro was charged with rape. Azarenka said the issue of safeguarding players was a top concern for members of the WTA Tour’s Players’ Council, adding that exploitation of players was happening “left and right.”

Azarenka eased past Petra Martic 6-3, 6-0 to set up a Last 16 clash with 2016 finalist Karolina Pliskova who downed Olympic champion Belinda Bencic 5-7, 6-4, 6-3.
