On fire: Vera Zvonareva


After not being able to play regularly in past seasons due to different injuries, Russian Vera Zvonareva is enjoying a fantastic season. She reached her first final early in the year in Hobart. In Doha she reached another final, this time in a Tier I. But she got her best level this spring, with remarkable performances in the big Tier Is held in Indian Wells (quarter-final), Miami (semifinal) and Charleston (final). And finally she got her first title of the season last week in Prague.
Up to date, she's ranked #5 in the Race to the Championships, she's the player with most matches won (31) and she is very close to getting back in the Top 10, especially as she has no points to defend until the US Open.


Zvonareva is also known for being one of the most emotional players on Tour and a few years ago it was not strange to watch her crying on the court after a defeat. This makes Vera one of the most appreciated players by the fans, along with her nice and friendly personality and her beauty.
