Vera Zvonareva fell just one step short of making history. The Russian tennis player, now representing North Macedonia, returned to competition and at 41 years old reached the final of the Dubai W100. However, Petra Marcinko was superior today and claimed the title with a 6-3, 6-3 victory in an hour and 18 minutes, propelling her into the top 100 of the WTA rankings at number 82 in the world. Meanwhile, the former world number two in 2010 and runner-up at Wimbledon and the US Open, had no ranking and is now placed at number 654. Despite not securing the singles title, she still has the chance to win the doubles title alongside her partner Rada Zolotareva.
