Victoria Azarenka was born on July 31, 1989 in Minsk, Belarus. She is a competitive tennis player who was known to be the Junior World Champion in 2005. She won the 2007 US Open Mixed Doubles Title together with her teammate Max Mirnyi, and also the 2008 French Open with Bob Bryan. She recently resides in Scottsdale, Arizona and undergone her training in Marbella, Spain. Last February 23, 2009, she achieved a career high of No. 11 in Singles.
In 2005, Azarenka got both the Australian and US Open as a Junior and was named the ITF Junior Girls World Title for that year. She was the pioneer player from Belarus to do that. She also triumphed her first ITF title in Petange, Luxembourg in the same season. In China, she reached her first pro-level semifinal, winning 3 qualitfying rounds and beating both Martina Such and Shuai Peng in the primary draw before being defeated by the event champ, Yan Zi.
Every morning Azarenka has been one of the first players out in the field to work out. She and her trainer, Mark Wellington, begin slowly. Headphones on, she swings her arms back and forth, then gently tosses and kicks a soccer ball with him. The drills plus the ball eventually speed up until both of them are quick-stepping to manage it in front of them. Usually, you will see tennis players take small intervals during those workouts and share a laugh with their trainer. But not Azarenka. When she can't hit the ball, she stamps her foot in frustration.
The 19-year-old tennis player won her first WTA Tour Singles Title earlier this year by conquering the Brisbane International. The World No.14 Belorussian is now 13-1 this season. The only defeat to date was against Serena Williams at the Australian Open, when she disappointingly had departed in the fourth-round match because of dizziness and some forms of illness.
Azarenka posted a 6-7 (4-7) 6-1 6-3 quarter-final win over Safina, who would have claimed the World's No.1 ranking from Serena Williams by reaching the final. However for Azarenka, she ran into a player filled with confidence after taking her first two career WTA Titles this season - in Brisbane and Memphis. Safina seemed to achieve the match up in her grasp when she took a 3-1 lead in the third set, but she couldn't keep the supremacy.
Shahar Pe'er's distinctive run in the singles draw at Indian Wells came to an sudden end, but at least she could relieve herself with moving forward to the semifinals of the doubles event hours later. Despite converting four of her five break points, Pe'er was on her back foot for the majority of the encounter, with Azarenka dominating the Israeli's service games, breaking six times.
