Vera Zvonareva Stuns Caroline Wozniacki, Advances to US Open Final

Filed under: U.S. Open, WTARecently turned 26-year-old Vera Zvonareva of Russia stunned tournament sweetheart and No.1-seeded Caroline Wozniacki of Denmark in straight sets, 6-4, 6-3, to advance into the U.S. Open final.

The No. 7-seeded Zvonareva broke Wozniacki's 13-match winning streak by limiting her errors and playing aggressive tennis throughout the match. Both Wozniacki and Zvonareva came into the match without dropping a set the entire tournament.

Zvonareva, this year's Wimbledon runner-up, has matured by leaps and bounds in just one year. Last summer, she suffered a frightening on-court meltdown during her fourth round U.S. Open match in 2009 against Flavia Pennetta. Zvonareva was crying on the court, while cursing at the officials and tearing at bandages that covered her body. She had a previous history of letting her emotions get the best of her, but has learned to tame them, now having advanced to her second straight Grand Slam final.

On Friday, she showed extreme patience throughout the match against Wozniacki.
