He is an eight-time finalist of the Grand Slam tournaments, three of them in the mix and five times in the doubles.
Elena Vesnina was born in 1986 in the Ukrainiancity of Lviv. At the age of 6 I started to play tennis, when my parents recorded a daughter in the section of Yuri Yudkin in Sochi. He became her first coach and brought up in Elena Elena's interest in sports. Not surprisingly, by the age of 18 she had already had many awards. The future sportswoman won several children's tournaments in different age groups and to practice tennis professionally decided to continue her career as an athlete.
Parents fully supported the decision of the child andeven insisted that Elena associated her life with sports. School in Sochi was the first step and opened the door to compete at a higher level. Elena still grateful to my mother Irina Vesnina and dad Sergey Vesnina for this opportunity. Parents also have influenced the younger brother of the athlete, Dmitry, who works as a coach for tennis in Sochi.
At the first big competition Elena Vesninacame in as early as 16 years. She had to play against Dushevina for the N. Ozerov Cup. The tournament is a traditional match in Sochi and is declared as one of the most prestigious. Then the unknown girl was able to win a difficult match and get WC from the International Tennis Federation (from the English ITF). This victory gave her confidence and confidence that this is only the beginning. And it turned out: at the moment Elena has 6 ITF titles in doubles and 2 singles.
For the first time I took part in the International TournamentWTA in Moscow in 2003. Elena played against the Czech tennis player Mikaela Pastikova, and the latter was stronger: the victory of the Russian athlete did not fall.
However, already in 2005 Elena Vesnina paired withAnastasia Rodionova were able to win the WTA title in the Canadian city of Quebec, and two years later to win the tournament in Hobart, paired with Elena Likhovtseva. It is worth noting that at the beginning of her career, Elena was experiencing financial problems and could hardly afford to go to tournaments. However, a series of victories in competitions with prize funds of millions of dollars saved the tennis player from such worries.
In 2006, the sportswoman took part in theThe Australian Open Tennis Championship, which is one of the Grand Slam tournaments. Tennis player Elena Vesnina was able to go 3 rounds, but in the fourth gave victory to Nadezhda Petrova. However, in general, the debut was very successful.
One of the most significant events in lifetennis player is the Federation Cup, which Elena won in 2007. These are the biggest competitions held in women's tennis, in which Russia has won only 4 times.
The next title was won in tandem with DinaraSafina in 2008 at the tournament in Indian Wells. A year later I took part in the WTA tournament in Oakland. According to Elena, she was very nervous before the competition, since this was her first final and she had already met her rival, the Russian tennis player Elena Dmitrievna, earlier on the court. Elena Vesnina recognized her as an excellent player and could not win. In the Australian Championships, her luck did not smile, and Elena did not go beyond the first round. However, later she was able to earn the title of 39 rackets of the world, and this list includes only the strongest tennis players.
Elena Vesnina, whose personal life is carefully hidden, very rarely talks about any events not related to sports. However, some facts are still known.
In late November 2015, the Russian tennis playergot married. The media learned about the wedding after, thanks to social networks and reports that guests left there. The wedding was held secretly and without the participation of journalists, even the name of the spouse was not called. It is known that his name is Pavel. Elena, like many Russian athletes, until the last kept everything in secret, unlike many Western stars. Perhaps she did not want to frighten off her happiness.
Some moments from life fans most oftenlearn from social networks. Elena Vesnina, whose photo rarely appears in the media, rather actively updates her page in "Instagram", "Twitter" and "Facebook", often adds pictures and shares news. Perhaps soon there will be a picture of her husband athletes.
