MARBELLA, Spain (AP) — Top-seeded Victoria Azarenka of Belarus captured her second straight title Sunday, beating Irina-Camelia Begu of Romania 6-3, 6-2 to win the Andalucia Tennis Experience.

Azarenka broke Begu’s serve four times in the first set and three times in the second, continuing the dominating play that earned her a victory in Key Biscayne last weekend.

Azarenka did not drop more than three games in any set during the Andalucia tournament and has now won a personal best 11 straight matches.

It was the 20-year-old Begu’s first tour final. She had never won a main draw match on the WTA tour before playing through qualification and making a run to the final.
