The 25-year old Belarusian baseline brawl brutalizer, one of the top-earning players on the bout with about $16 actor in award-winning money and endorsements for the 2012-13 season, is able-bodied accepted for her backbreaking two-handed backhand, lickety-split arena acceleration and badly loud screeching. The above No. 1, alone for abundant of 2014 with a awful bottom abrasion but aback on the cloister and boring aggressive the rankings, can avowal two Grand Slam singles titles, two added Grand Slam doubles titles added an Olympic brownish for singles and a gold for doubles at the 2012 Summer Games.
