Intro:
Victoria Azarenka said she didn't consider herself the favourite to win the Australian Open despite the main rivals Serena Williams and Maria Sharapova being knocked out in the fourth round. The world number 2 beat 13th seed Sloane Stephens in straight sets 6-3, 6-2.
Script:
SOUNDBITE: (English) (on if she and Li Na are the overwhelming favourites in the final with the top seed and third seed out of the event):
"Well, by the rankings, probably yes. By the game, I don't consider myself just a favourite because I don't consider anybody as the favourite. I just go out there and play my best, because anybody on any given day - we've seen that happen last couple days - can bring their best game. You have to stay alert. It doesn't matter the level that you're No. 2 or whatever. Everybody has proven that anybody can beat anybody. The way I approach the matches, I have to be ready 100% for every player. "
