Victoria Azarenka whitewashes Dinah Pfizenmaier

World number two Victoria Azarenka has whitewashed Dinah Pfizenmaier in their US Open first-round clash.

The 2012 runner-up is bidding to win her third Grand Slam, and she made the perfect start to her campaign against the young German.

The Belarus player blasted her way through the opening set, taking three of 10 break points to move a set away from the second round.

It was a similar story in the second, as Pfizenmaier recorded just eight points on her serve as she fell to a 65-minute defeat.
