With 21 career singles titles to her name so far, Victoria Azarenka is undoubtedly one of the better players to have ever graced a tennis court. The veteran Belarusian tennis player has won a couple of Grand Slam titles and an Olympics singles bronze medal at the 2012 London Olympics. Azarenka has reached at least the semi-final at every single Grand Slam. In the doubles category, the Belarusian has won nine career titles and reached a career-high ranking of seventh. Her highest career ranking as a singles player is first, which she achieved in January 2012, the same year she won the Olympic bronze medal and her first ever Grand Slam.

Azarenka has won 21 singles titles in her career so far but her most successful competition is the Miami Open which she won three times. Apart from that, she is a two-time champion of the Australian Open, Indian Wells Masters, Cincinnati Open and the Dubai/Qatar Open. Azarenka achieved the sunshine double (winning the Miami and Indian Wells competitions in the same season) in 2016.

Her first WTA singles title win came in 2009 when she won the Miami Open where she beat then world no. 1 Serena Williams in straight sets. It made her the sixth female teenage champion of the competition in history, thus joining an illustrious club that included Steffi Graf, Monica Seles, Martina Hingis, Venus Williams, and Gabriela Sabatini.
