Victoria Azarenka literally danced her way into the Fed Cup weekend. Though she's not Belarus' No. 1, the two-time Grand Slam champion is a very welcome addition to the team.

Azarenka entered the tie as the world No. 61 after reaching her first final in three years, in Monterrey. Since leaving the tour to have her son Leo in 2016, Azarenka has had a slow comeback.

In Brisbane against a strong Australian team, Azarenka serves as Belarus' No. 2 and lost to Ashleigh Barty in the second singles rubber on Saturday. Aryna Sabalenka kicked things off with a three-set win  against Samantha Stosur in the first match.
