The BNP Paribas Open quizzed the WTA's top eight players on some facts about each other, leading to intentional (and unintentional) moments of hilarity. From Maria Sharapova's "embarrassing" performance ("Who is in the top eight?") to Petra Kvitova's blank stare to Li Na's infectious laugh to Caroline Wozniacki's successful photo-bomb of Agnieszka Radwanska, the video has a little something for everyone.

But given the tumultuous state of Victoria Azarenka's relationship with Radwanska -- who has not backed down from her recent criticism of the world No. 1 -- the pièce de résistance of the four-minute clip is Azarenka's reaction when she's told that the Pole was voted the 2011 WTA Fan Favorite.

"Wow," Azarenka said, with an air of surprise. "Congrats." Given her tone, I'm not so sure she's going to offer her congratulations in person anytime soon.

See the full video below. It's worth your time.
