Victoria Azarenka, born July 31, 1989, is a Belarusian tennis player. Victoria became a complete tennis star after winning the 2012 and 2013 Australian Open, bringing her ranking all the way up to no. 1 in the world. She has had an incredible career, winning over 20 career singles titles. 

One of her best rivalries is with fellow tennis great Serena Williams. The two had classic matches at the 2012 and 2013 US Open, both of which Serena won. Outside of tennis, Victoria is a devoted mom to her son, Leo, born in December 2016. For a time, Victoria stepped away from tennis to deal with an intense custody battle over her son. Upon her return, Victoria went on a tennis winning streak, with fans so happy to see her back in the sport and thriving.
