Vera Zvonareva Biography And Images-Photos

Vera Zvonareva was born into a family of sportsmen. Her mother Natalya Bykova played field hockey and was a bronze medallist in the Moscow Olympic Games 1980. Her father Igor Zvonarev participated in a USSR championship on bandy.
Her Mother brought Vera to the sports club “Chajka” when she was 6 years old. Her first coach was Ekaterina Ivanovna Kryuchkova. Even then Vera stood out against the background of not only people of her age, but also of her seniors.
At that time Zvonareva didn’t think about professional career and played tennis mostly for pleasure. But with her first victories, she had to face a choice, and Vera decided to devote her life to sports.
