Victoria Azarenka is a Belarusian tennis player, with over 20 WTA singles titles to her name.
Born in Minsk in 1989, Azarenka began playing tennis with her mother, before moving to the United States as a teenager to train more intensely. Azarenka had a successful stint on the ITF Juniors tour, winning 2 girls' Grand Slam titles and reaching the number 1 ranking.
Azarenka began appearing on the WTA whilst still a junior, and recorded eye-catching wins against top-30 opponents whilst aged just 17. In 2006, she reached the third round of the US Open, and a year later she went one better, reaching the fourth round of the Grand Slam. In 2008, the Belarusian reached the Australian Open women's doubles final, and then a couple of months later won the mixed doubles title at Roland-Garros, whilst also reaching the fourth round of the singles draw. Her singles breakthrough came the following season: Azarenka won her first WTA singles title - defeating future Wimbledon champion Marian Bartoli in the final of the Brisbane International - won the Miami Open singles title, and entered the top-10 for the first time. Off the back of her stellar season, Azarenka qualified for the year-end WTA Finals. In 2011, she would reach the final of the WTA Finals, before going on to win the Australian Open at the beginning of the 2012 season. It was Azarenka's first Grand Slam win, and elevated her to the pinnacle of the WTA singles rankings.
In 2013 Azarenka defended her Australian Open title, and, despite struggling with injuries, she managed to claim a further 2 singles titles during the season. Her injury woes continued into 2014, however, blighting her form and preventing her from gaining momentum until 2016, when she rediscovered her form at the beginning of the year, and cemented her return with a rare "sunshine double" - singles victories in both Miami and Indian Wells. Azarenka returned to the top-5 of the singles rankings, before taking time out to have a child.
After a prolonged hiatus, Azarenka had a successful 2020 season, collecting her first singles title since 2016, reaching the US Open final, and re-entering the top-15. The 2021 season saw the Belarusian reach the final of the BNP Paribas Open (Indian Wells), becoming one of the most successful women in the tournament's history.
Victoria Azarenka is known for her aggressive playing style, which is characterised by powerful, flat groundstrokes, taken from the baseline. Her backhand, especially when employed down-the-line, is particularly potent, and she also an able returner of serve. She is widely-considered to be a hard court specialist, having won the vast majority of her singles titles on the surface.

Disappointing this year. Struggle to get there due to the public transport closures. Games rescheduled on the day to what seemed illogical decision so 3 games to be played from 4.30pm and no games prior. The last game would be starting very late. Quite a big ask for spectators to stay that late then with very limited transport home. The mens final only lasted 1 game ( out of the organisers control i know) but paid $400 to watch one game as the mens ended early and the doubles would finish too late to get home. Not great value for money . What we did see was amazing but not great organising in general this year . Have been for many years but not a great experience.this year unfortunately.
It was a great day for the whole family. The event was well organized, and there was always something to see and do. The kids wanted to have the opportunity to meet some players and get their autograph, that would be a great thing to have. Also being able to watch the stars train, maybe a system where people queue and get 5 minutes to watch and then move out to let everyone have a view.
I took my grandson (11 years old) to the finals as this was his Christmas present. It was such a shame that Reilly Opelka retired as we were very excited to see him play. The women's final was great to watch. It was great to see so many top players coming to Brisbane.
Very disappointed with authorities as they clearly knew that men's final is not going to happen and didn't let us know.
7000 people bought tickets to the final mainly to watch men's final.
Authorities started changing the time table from 9 am, without telling us the truth.
My family paid $1000 and it went down the bin.
I may never come back to these liers.
Tennis was great but noise from outside the main arena was too loud and distracting especially on night session Wednesday.
