Svetlana Kuznetsova
The Russian professional player Svetlana Kuznetsova was born on June 27, 1985 in San Petersburgo.
At a very young age she tried doing cycling as her father was the National Team Coach but she discovered she had a special preference for tennis. When she became 15 years of age she traveled to Spain to continue her training and presently she is coached by Arantxa Sanchez Vicario.
Kutnetsova won her first and only Grand Slam at the 2004 US Open by overcoming Elena Dementieva. As a doubles player she won the 2005 Australian Open; and has participated in five Grand Slam double finals with Martina Navratilova, Elena Likhovtseva and Amélie Mauresmo as the companions.
Kutnetsova was unfortunately related to a doping scandal but since the test was done during a non official tournament the case was not investigated. More recently, she managed to get to the French Final at Roland Garros but failed to number one Justine Henin-Hardene 4-6, 4-6.
At the present time she is ranked number three in the world WTA rankings.
