Former World No.1 Victoria Azarenka recently spoke about her early years as a tennis player, with emphasis on her childhood and motivation growing up.

The two-time Grand Slam champion gave some insight into her childhood aspirations, revealing she used to imagine playing against tennis greats like Steffi Graf and Monica Seles when she was a child.

"I always had fun," said the Belarusian. "I didn't think, okay, I'm going to become -- not that I didn't think I wanted to become the best player in the world, but it was I loved the game, I love to compete, I love to challenge myself.

"I would imagine when I was like 10 years old playing against the wall that I'm playing in Wimbledon or I'm playing in the US Open or Australian Open, and I'm beating Steffi Graf, which I have never had the chance to play against, or Monica Seles, you know."
