Victoria Azarenka defeated Sloane Stephens in straight sets in the fourth round of the Australian Open on Monday to advance to the quarterfinals of the tournament. Though her easy win was quite impressive, it’s not what we want to focus on.
After her match, Vika did an interview with 7 Sports that was televised on ESPN. Azarenka talked about how she spent time in Australia prior to the tournament with boyfriend Redfoo and enjoyed it. She talked about hanging out by Bondi Beach, seeing the surfers, and loving the atmosphere and energy. Interviewer Rennae Stubbs said it seemed like Azarenka wanted to purchase a home in the area, and Vika mentioned that Redfoo, who has been in Australia serving as a judge on a reality TV show in the country, talked about that. That’s when Stubbs put the pressure on the couple.
Stubbs held up Azarenka’s left hand, tapped Vika’s ring finger and said to Redfoo, “I see something’s missing,” implying that they need to be married before they buy a home together.
That drew laughs from Vika, Redfoo and the crowd, but it led to a great quote from Azarenka.
“It better be bigger than [Caroline Wozniacki’s],” she said.
Wozniacki’s ring, given to her by fiance Rory McIlroy, is 8 carats. That’s a lot to compete with, Redfoo!
