Svetlana Kuznetsova is the runner up in the US open women’s tennis championship 2007.
Svetlana Kuznetsova really has stuck strictly to her tennis in the post-US Open period, and Svetlana Kuznetsova’s dedication has paid off with a berth in the WTA year-end championships in Madrid.
On Monday, the WTA announced the 21-year-old Russian Svetlana Kuznetsova had become the fourth player to qualify for the November event, joining Justine Henin-Hardenne, Amelie Mauresmo and Maria Sharapova as players who have already secured their spots.
Not for Kuznetsova the wet ‘n’ wild temptations of Bali’s watersports, the joys of lounging on the tropical beach or the chance to sip a fruit drink complete with a parasol in the glass.
Instead, the 2004 U.S. Open champion Kuznetsova concentrated on the competitive grind, beating the draining autumn heat to the emerge with back-to-back titles from her September trip to the East.
Svetlana Kuznetsova earned her second and third titles of the season at Bali and Beijing, winning both at the expense of French opponents. Marion Bartoli at the Wismilak International in Bali while world No. 1 Amelie Mauresmo couldn’t recover after a rain interruption, losing at the China Open in Beijing.
“This is no holiday for me, I’m here to work,” said Svetlana Kuznetsova, who accounted for defending champion Lindsay Davenport in the semi-finals.
In contrast, Davenport, staying away from the Grand Hyatt tournament site at an even fancier establishment, made Kuznetsova week a relaxing one.
After winning the U.S. Open two years ago, Svetlana Kuznetsova struggled with the pressure of being a Grand Slam champion and ended last year at No. 18. Now, with her ranking back to a career-best fourth, Svetlana Kuznetsova has her sights set on doing well at Madrid. With her training base still at the Sanchez Academy in Spain, the country is like a second home.
Amali Mauresmo, the year-end defending champion, praised Svetlana Kuznetsova. “She’s in the Top 5, she’s a great player with a Grand Slam title,” said the holder of majors this season at Melbourne and Wimbledon. “I think she can win any tournament.”
Svetlana Kuznetsova has enter in the final of the US open 2007.But she was defeted by the world no:1 player Justine Henin.
