World Cup 2014: Lionel Messi So Cute for Azarenka

Former world number one Victoria Azarenka can't support her native Belarus at the World Cup so she follows Argentina because Lionel Messi is "cute".

"I've been a supporter of Argentina for the last three World Cups," said former double Australian Open winner Azarenka.

"They even have pictures of me wearing an Argentina shirt from maybe 2000. I love Messi. I think he's one of the greatest players of all time.

"He's so little, so cute. It's just fun."

Azarenka made the Wimbledon second round on Monday with a 6-3, 7-5 win over Croatia's Mirjana Lucic-Baroni for only her first win on the tour since January.
