Vera Zvonareva continues to surprise at 41 years old. The finalist of Wimbledon and the US Open in 2010 returned to the courts a few months ago and is currently in the qualifying round of the WTA Adelaide 2026. There, she staged an incredible comeback against Laura Siegemund. The Russian was trailing with a score of 0-5 and 30-40, almost losing the set, but she turned it around and won 11 consecutive games until the German retired with 7-5, 4-0. A remarkable comeback that puts Zvonareva just one match away from reentering a WTA tournament's main draw.

When Vera Zvonareva stepped away from tennis in May 2024 due to a serious shoulder injury, many thought that would mark her retirement.
