Victoria Azarenka raced into the second round of the French Open with a 48-minute 'double bagel' victory over Belgium's Yanina Wickmayer.

At 35 years old, the Belarusian is the oldest player in the Open era to win a Grand Slam main-draw match 6-0 6-0.

She also becomes the first woman to score a Grand Slam double bagel - winning a match without dropping a game - in three different decades.
