Victoria Azarenka looks to maintain her 100 per cent record against Elina Svitolina when they face off in the Wimbledon fourth round.

The two-time major winner has prevailed in all five previous encounters between the players, including a dominant 6-0, 6-2 victory at last year’s Australian Open.

Former world number one Azarenka will certainly be confident of extending that streak.

Indeed, since battling past Yuan Yue in the opening round, she has dropped just nine games while sweeping aside Nadia Podoroska and 11th seed Daria Kasatkina.

A two-time Wimbledon semi-finalist in 2011 and 2012, Azarenka is now looking to reach the last eight for only the second time since the latter.

Although, she does boast fond memories of SW19 where alongside Max Mirnyi, she defeated Andy Murray and Laura Robson to win Olympic gold in the mixed doubles in 2012, while she and Jamie Murray were runners-up in the same discipline of this event five years ago.

Svitolina also knows what it takes to go deep at the All England Club, reaching the semi-finals here in 2019.

Like Azarenka, the Ukrainian has only dropped a single set thus far, despite a tough run to the fourth round. Indeed, she has already beaten five-time champion Venus Williams and Elise Mertens, as well as former Australian Open winner Sofia Kenin.

A recent winner in Strasbourg and French Open quarter-finalist, the former world number three has now won 12 of her past 14 matches and has plenty of momentum as she looks to end her losing streak against Azarenka.

The winner of this match will play either top seed Iga Swiatek or Olympic gold medallist Belinda Bencic in the quarter-finals at Wimbledon.

Play gets underway at around 5.30pm BST on Sunday and will be contested over the best of three sets on No.1 Court.
