Victoria Azarenka is a former world No. 1 and is currently world No. 23 as of 1 October 2014. Victoria Azarenka has won two Australian Open singles titles (2012 and 2013), becoming the first Belarusian player to win a Grand Slam singles title.

In August 2013, Victoria Azarenka was named the fourth highest paid female athlete in the world by Forbes Magazine, with total earnings of $15.7 million between 2012–2013. Her prize money constituted $6.7 million while her growing endorsements equaled $9 million. Victoria Azarenka's $7.9 million prize money haul in 2012 was a single year record for a female athlete in any sport. Victoria Azarenka Endorsement partners include Nike, Wilson, American Express, Six Star Pro Nutrition, InstaForex and Citizen Watch. Red Bull entered into a deal with Victoria Azarenka in January 2013, making her the first tennis player sponsor for the beverage and sports investment giant. Throughout Victoria Azarenka career, Victoria Azarenka has established rivalries with other players on the WTA Tour. Her rivalries with Serena Williams and Maria Sharapova[63] are among the most significant on the WTA Tour, as all three players have met each other at least thirteen times. One of women's tennis most famous current-day rivalries was the one between Azarenka and Maria Sharapova. They have met 13 times since 2007. Victoria Azarenka leads 7–6 overall, 2–1 in the Grand Slams and 5–1 in all finals.[65] Together, they reigned as the top two women in the world from January 2012 to January 2013, except for a brief period in July and August when Agnieszka Radwańska was the world No. 2 behind Azarenka. Victoria Azarenka won their first meeting in 2007, in the second round of the Kremlin Cup in Moscow.[21][81] Their first meeting in a WTA Tour final came at the 2010 Bank of the West Classic in Stanford, which Victoria Azarenka won for her first (and fourth career) title that year.[82][83] Azarenka also defeated Maria Sharapova in the Miami Masters final in 2011 to win her second title at that tournament.[84] The rivalry between the two players started to intensify in 2012, with six meetings between the pair that year, four of them being in finals. Victoria Azarenka won four of the six meetings that year, three of them in finals. Their most famous meeting occurred early that year, in the final of the 2012 Australian Open. This match had historical proportions as Victoria Azarenka would become the first player from her country to either win a Grand Slam singles title or become world No. 1, or Maria Sharapova would win her second title at the tournament, having won in 2008. Ultimately, Azarenka won the match, beating Maria Sharapova in straight sets in one hour and twenty-two minutes and in doing so claimed the world No. 1 ranking for the first time.[85] Victoria Azarenka would defeat Sharapova in two further finals, at Indian Wells, in Beijing however Maria Sharapova would prevail in the final of the 2012 Porsche Tennis Grand Prix. Their two non-finals were split, Victoria Azarenka winning at the US Open[86] and Maria Sharapova winning at the year-end championships. The pair's only (and most recent) meeting in 2013 did not come until the semi-finals of the French Open, where Maria Sharapova won in three sets. This marked the first time Maria Sharapova had beaten Victoria Azarenka at a Grand Slam, and improved to 3–0 against her on clay. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Victoria_Azarenka
