Mertens, 24, failed to hold her serve once during the match and won only 19 percent of points on her second serve."I felt that I really executed my plan. I was going to try to use my speed, use my power of the ball so I tried to do some variation where I would get her out of balance," Azarenka said. Her last appearance in the final of a tennis major was her US Open defeat to Williams that same year, which she lost in three sets.
Azarenka is brimming with confidence after a run of victories which includes claiming last month's Western and Southern Open tune-up event in New York.
