Don’t overlook Vera Zvonareva!
by bahamaderek on Sep.07, 2010, under Kaia Kanepi, Vera Zvonareva
Seventh seed Vera Zvonareva beat Andrea Petkovic 6-1 6-2 to reach the quarter-finals of the US Open.
Zvonareva is one of only two women left in the draw who have yet to drop a set, along with Caroline Wozniacki, and was in great form from the start as she claimed the opener in 24 minutes.
The Russian continued to impress as she surged to a 5-0 lead in the second set and, despite some late spirit from Petkovic, she was able to seal a simple victory.
“I always believe in myself and I always believe if I can produce a good tennis, I can beat anyone,” Zvonereva told the US Open’s official website.
“I know that it’s not easy out there, even though it may look that the match today was easy. But it was not easy out there at all. I think I just was a little bit more experienced player tonight.”
Next up for Zvonereva is Estonia’s Kaia Kanepi, who beat Yanina Wickmayer 0-6 7-6 (7/2) 6-1.
