Victoria Azarenka achieved a significant milestone with her straight-sets win in the Canadian Open's opening round on Tuesday. She defeated Anastasia Pavlyuchenkova 6-2, 6-2, securing her spot in the round of 32 in just one hour and 17 minutes in Toronto.

In this victory, Azarenka became the first player to achieve 150 straight-set wins at WTA-1000 events, excluding retirements, since the format was introduced in 2009. This record solidifies her dominance in these tournaments.

The Belarusian already held the record for the most straight-set wins at WTA-1000 events. With this latest triumph, she now has 18 more wins than second-place Agnieszka Radwanska, who has 132.

This remarkable achievement highlights Azarenka's consistency and skill on the court. Her performance continues to inspire fans and fellow players alike.

As she progresses further into the tournament, all eyes will be on Azarenka to see if she can finally secure that elusive Canadian Open title.
