Vera Zvonareva is trying hard to get back to her tennis.
Now ranked world no. 634, Vera quit tennis in 2012 to try to recover from a shoulder injury. The Russian went for the “smooth” root, but at a certain point she had to bow and decide to undergo an operation.
Now Vera is back to play, but she is still rather rusty to record a 1-4 win / loss record. In Indian Wells the Russian lost to world no. 40 Shuai Peng 4-6 6-0 7-5, but she doesn’t sound too worried.
The Russian commented ”It was a tough match. took a little risk in the last game because I had to and unfortunately it didn’t work out for me. I made a couple of mistakes and I think that helped her to break me in the last game. I think my game is better than it was in Australia, so I can’t complain too much.”
