Top-ranked Victoria Azarenka of Belarus arrived in Thailand yesterday to take part in the Hua Hin World Tennis Invitation on Saturday.
Victoria Azarenka greets the fans at Suvarnabhumi airport.
Azarenka, who arrived from Qatar with US rapper Redfoo, a member of music duo LMFAO, also played in the exhibition event last year.
"I am very happy to be back to Thailand again," she said. "I had a great time last year in my first visit to Thailand."
She will play against China's Li Na and take part in several activities.
Li, the 2011 French Open winner, replaced American superstar Serena Williams who was forced to withdraw from the event due to a foot injury.
The Chinese will arrive in Bangkok tomorrow for her first appearance in Thailand. She will participate in a fashion show of Thai silk along with Azarenka tomorrow.
