Svetlana Kuznetsova - tennis player representing Russia at the final tournament WTA

2016 was marked by a drop in the rating of the majority of Russian tennis players. Disqualification of Maria Sharapova, marriage to Maria Kirilenko and trauma of Vera Zvonareva led to the fact that in the ranking of the WTA in the top ten there were no Russian athletes. Even in the Federation Cup, the Russian team performed poorly, losing in the quarter-finals to a not very strong team from the Netherlands. At this time, the question arose about which of the current tennis players will become the leader in the Russian team? According to the results of the 2016 season, the WTA ranked Svetlana Kuznetsova - tennis player, we can say with a capital letter.

Carier start

Svetlana can be attributed to the representatives of the golden generation of Russian tennis, when in the top ten ranking there were several players at once. At the moment, this is the oldest active tennis player in Russia.

She was born in Leningrad in 1985. The first steps in this sport Svetlana Kuznetsova (tennis player) does in seven years. And from this time begins her rise as a player in tennis. The first year of the twenty-first century was marked by the appearance of Svetlana in the professional tour. And already the first trophy of Kuznetsov wins literally in a year, it was a tournament in Bali.

Two years later comes the biggest success. In 2004, Svetlana Kuznetsova, a tennis player who is still unknown to anyone, wins her first and for the moment the only Grand Slam tournament. It was the US Open Tennis Championship, the so-called US Open tournament. At the moment, this is the only active Russian sportswoman who achieved such success. Of course, the fans of Svetlana believe that this is not her last title, and they hope that among these awards there will be more titles in the Grand Slam tournaments. At the moment, Svetlana is the owner of seventeen titles. And all hope that this is not the last photo of Svetlana with the prize.

Personal life

Svetlana is a tennis player who has her own principles, which determine not only her personal life, but also her tennis career. She believes that family and sport are incompatible. And so it is still unmarried. In addition, many men tried to put her before the choice - family or career, and in each case, the decision was made in favor of tennis, and this was followed by a break with a young man.

Of course, there will come a time when Svetlana Kuznetsova, a tennis player with vast experience, will finish her career as a professional player. Perhaps, then she will pay attention to the creation of the family. But at the moment the most faithful friend of the sportswoman is her dog, as Svetlana Kuznetsova herself claims. A tennis player, whose photo can often be seen on the pages of sports publications, is very attached to her four-footed pet.

Intrigue of the coming season

The next season for Svetlana and all Russian tennis should be quite interesting. In the spring Maria Sharapova comes back, whether Svetlana will manage to stay in the top ten of the world women's tennis, time will tell. She has everything to improve her position in the ranking. Svetlana Kuznetsova is a tennis player, whose growth is by today's standards is not very high, nevertheless, few athletes in the world ranking have the same technique of performing strikes. Therefore, in the first place next year will be the physical and psychological preparation of the athlete.
