MELBOURNE, Australia — The Latest from the Australian Open on Wednesday (all times local):
1:10 p.m.
Angelique Kerber needed all the belief she could muster to come back from 5-2 down in a set against a player she hadn't beaten in six career meetings.
But she managed that against Victoria Azarenka on Wednesday by telling herself "just believe that you can beat her ... just forget the score, just play and go for it and try to play the best you can play."
The German player had won the first set 6-3 and rallied to win the final five games of the second set to close out the match.
