New world number one Victoria Azarenka has said that she is enjoying life at the top of the women's game.
The Belarusian won her first Grand Slam at the first time of asking at last month's Australian Open by defeating Maria Sharapova with ease in the final.
She has admitted that there has been added media spotlight since the win but says she enjoys the attention.
"There is probably going to be extra motivation [for players to beat me], but it's kind of exciting," said Azarenka.
"Every time I step on court I have a tougher task to handle.
"I've worked really hard to get in this position so I have to deal with it now."
The 22-year-old returns to the court for the first time since Melbourne in Qatar on Wednesday.
