Azarenka’s 48-minute ‘double bagel’ sets records

French Open 2025

Location: Roland Garros, May 25 – June

Victoria Azarenka defeated Belgium’s Yanina Wickmayer in the final round of the French Open, moving into the second round with a 48-minute “double bagel” victory.

The Belarusian won a Grand Slam main-draw match with a score of 6-0 6-0, making him the 35th player in the Open era.

She also becomes the first woman to win a Grand Slam double bagel in three different eras without losing a game.

Wickmayer, who is currently ranked outside the top 1,000 in the world and has declared she will retire this summer, only managed one game point in the contest.

Wickmayer was undone by 26 errors that were unforced, while Azarenka, a two-time major winner, won 15 of the 66 points on offer.

Since 2000, only Maria Sharapova and Kim Clijsters have won more Grand Slam matches than Azarenka’s five with a score of 6-0 6-0.

Since the 2016 Australian Open, she has won one double bagel at a major.
