Rivalries

[edit]

Zvonareva vs. Wozniacki

[edit]

Zvonareva andCaroline Wozniacki have met nine times, with Zvonareva leading their head-to-head 5–4.[139]

They have met in three finals, Wozniacki winning two of them: in rain-delayed finals at the2010 Rogers Cup and theChina Open, the latter of which was contested whilst they reigned as two of the top three players in the world, whilst Zvonareva prevailed inQatar in 2011.[140] In 2010, they met in two important semifinals: Zvonareva winning at theUS Open[141] and Wozniacki prevailing at the2010 WTA Tour Championships in a match which decided which of the two would finish 2010 ranked world No. 1.[142]

Zvonareva vs. Radwańska

[edit]
Radwańska and Zvonareva following the 2011 Pan Pacific Open final.

Zvonareva had a rivalry with the Polish playerAgnieszka Radwańska,[143][144] which began in 2007. Radwańska led the series 4–2.[145]

Throughout their meetings, Radwańska matched Zvonareva's pace and movements around the court,[146] with Zvonareva considered the more powerful of the two, but Radwańska noted as more focused at times,[146][147] utilizing whatSports Illustrated's Courtney Nguyen dubbed "selective aggression" during their matches in 2011.[148]

At the 2007Kremlin Cup, Zvonareva won their first meeting in straight sets. The two did not play again until 2011, when Radwańska won four of their five matches, including the finals of the Mercury Insurance Open and the Pan Pacific Open. Their final meeting of 2011 was an acclaimed match at theWTA Championships.[149] In the third set, Zvonareva served for the match while leading 5–3. However, Radwańska saved three match points and went on to win 1–6, 6–2, 7–5. The victory marked Radwańska's fourth straight win against Zvonareva, whom she described as "very consistent and always tough to beat."[150]

Zvonareva vs. Clijsters

[edit]

Zvonareva has a 3–7 record againstKim Clijsters.[151]

The Belgian won their first five matches, from 2002 until Clijsters' first retirement in 2007. When Clijsters returned in 2010, Zvonareva won the next three matches, including one at the 2010 Wimbledon Championships, then lost the US Open final. Clijsters won their meeting at the 2011 Australian Open. They met for the final time at Wimbledon 2012, where Zvonareva retired after the second set for medical reasons.[citation needed]

Zvonareva vs. Stosur

[edit]

Zvonareva has a 3–8 head-to-head record againstSamantha Stosur. She lost eight times in a row to the Australian before coming from behind to win 4–6, 6–2, 6–2 at the 2020 Indian Wells Challenger.[152] Zvonareva has never lost to any other player eight times in a row.[153]

Stosur puts heavy topspin onto the ball, which has proven detrimental to Zvonareva's ball-striking ability.[153] Stosur's style has impeded Zvonareva's ability to predict where Stosur is going to place the ball when she runs around her backhand to hit her forehand inside out.[154]
