I also remember Azarenka featuring in Redfoo’s music video “Let’s Get Ridiculous”, most of which was filmed in Manly, New South Wales, while he was in the country on X Factor duties.

Still on the sports-music link, LMFAO’s “Champagne Showers” was seemingly inspired by the Sydney Swans’ end-of-season trip to Los Angeles in 2010 (at the end of which then-coach Paul Roos stepped down as head coach).

On another side note, the Sydney Swans’ most recent premiership (2012) came in the year Azarenka won the first of her two Australian Open titles.

US Open has announced that this year’s mixed doubles will be staged as a two-day tournament before the main draw.
