Yaroslava Vyacheslavovna Shvedova (Russian: Яросла́ва Вячесла́вовна Шве́дова, born 12 September 1987) is a Russian-born Kazakhstani tennis player.

Shvedova has won one singles and eleven doubles titles on the WTA tour, as well as four singles and four doubles titles on the ITF tour in her career. On 29 October 2012, she reached her best singles ranking of world number 25. On 23 February, she peaked at world number 3 in the doubles rankings.

Shvedova has made three Grand Slam singles quarterfinals, at the 2010 and the 2012 French Open and most recently at the 2016 Wimbledon Championships. She has won two Grand Slam women's doubles titles, the 2010 Wimbledon Championships and the 2010 US Open, partnering American player Vania King in both. Shvedova is also one of only 7 players to record a golden set in the professional era. She achieved this feat at the 2012 Wimbledon Championships in her match against Sara Errani, the only time a golden set was recorded in a Grand Slam.

She began wearing prescription sports glasses in 2012 after seeking medical advice about a nervous tic in one eye.^[1]

Playing Style

Shvedova is noted for her powerful serve, groundstrokes, and proficient net play. Shvedova's favorite serve is the flat serve down the T. Shvedova's weakness is her consistency on the forehand side.

Career

2007–2008

In February 2007, she unexpectedly reached the final of the Sony Ericsson International in Bangalore, beating homecrowd favourite and No.2 seed Sania Mirza in the quarterfinals. In the final, she defeated top-seeded defending champion Mara Santangelo in straight sets, to win her first WTA Tour title.^[2][3] This win caused her to be in the top 100 for the first time, at 78.

At the 2007 Miami Masters, she came through qualifying and impressively recorded her first-ever top 20 win over future number one Ana Ivanovic in the second round, beating her 7–5, 6–4. Tathiana Garbin beat her 4–6, 6–3, 6–2 in the third round.

In August 2008, she won an ITF title in Monterrey, Mexico, defeating Magdaléna Rybáriková in the final in two sets. Just over a week later, she won through the qualifying rounds for 2008 US Open, but lost to Agnieszka Radwańska in the first round.^[4]

2009

In 2009, Shvedova qualified for the main draw of Roland Garros, defeating Americans Shenay Perry in the first qualifying round and Angela Haynes, in the second qualifying round. She then beat Elena Baltacha in the final qualifying round to enter the main draw. She beat Kaia Kanepi in the first round and advanced to the third round after defeating Arantxa Rus, also a qualifier, in the second. There she lost in a close three-sets third round match to former number one Maria Sharapova, returning from a long-lasting shoulder injury and then ranked 102.

At the 2009 Wimbledon Championships in the first round she faced Romanian Monica Niculescu and defeated her with the loss of just one game, but lost to American teenager Melanie Oudin in the second. At the 2009 US Open, Shvedova pulled off the biggest win of her career by beating then No. 5 Jelena Janković in three sets, in a match where she saved two match points.^[5]

2010

Shvedova experienced a good run at the 2010 Sony Ericsson Open in Miami. She gained direct entry into the main draw and won a tight first round match against wildcard Ajla Tomljanović 6–7, 7–6, 7–5. She then defeated 23rd seed Sabine Lisicki in the second round after she retired whilst trailing 3–6, 1–0. In the third round, Shvedova advanced against unseeded Andrea Petkovic by winning another close match 6–0, 5–7, 7–5. She fell to 6th seed Agnieszka Radwańska 6–1, 6–4 in the fourth round.

Next, she defeated Iveta Benešová before falling to eventual tournament and 2010 French Open champion Francesca Schiavone in the semifinals.

Shvedova defeated 8th seed Agnieszka Radwańska, avenging her loss to her in Miami, en route to the quarters. As the last unseeded player in the tournament, Shvedova was defeated by 4th seed Jelena Janković in the quarterfinal, 7–5, 6–4. In mixed doubles, Shvedova partnered with Julian Knowle of Austria to reach the final, beating doubles legends Cara Black and Leander Paes, the second seeds, along the way. They fell 4–6, 7–6, [11–9] in a close final to sixth seeds Katarina Srebotnik of Slovenia and Nenad Zimonjić of Serbia.

At the 2010 Wimbledon Championships, Shvedova entered the Women's Doubles competition unseeded with partner Vania King. The two began playing together at the start of the grass court season two weeks before, and were only in their third event together. In a stunning string of upsets, Shvedova and King won the tournament, beating Elena Vesnina and Vera Zvonareva in the final. The pairing they beat in the final beat Serena and Venus Williams in the quarterfinals, and Zvonareva lost to Serena in the women's singles final.

Both Shvedova and King continued their good form onto the hard courts of the 2010 US Open, being seeded 6th, the team continued to win match after match before taking a spot in their second consecutive Grand Slam final, this time facing Liezel Huber and Nadia Petrova. King and Shvedova won in three sets after the match was played over two days due to heavy rainfall.

2011

Shvedova missed the Australian Open due to injury. She began her season at the 2011 Dubai Tennis Championships, losing in the first round to Zhang Shuai. She then suffered two most consecutive losses in Doha and Indian Wells. She then lost in the second round of three more tournaments. After losing two more matches in Rome and Madrid (reaching the semifinals and final in doubles, respectively), she entered the French Open, ranked No. 54. Shvedova lost in the first round to Anastasia Pavlyuchenkova, which saw her ranking drop to No. 115 as a result. She also reached the semifinals of the tournament with her regular doubles partner Vania King.

She won one match at the 2011 Aegon Classic followed by a 4-match losing streak. Now ranked No. 157, she played at an $50K ITF event in The Bronx, where she reached the final. She lost to Italian Romina Oprandi after retiring early in the second set. She then lost in the first round of qualifying of the 2011 US Open.

She showed some resurgence, qualifying through to the main draw in Seoul and Osaka, losing in the second round of the main draw of both tournaments. Her final tournament of the year saw her reach the quarterfinals of a $100K ITF event in Taipei.

Shvedova ended the year ranked No. 206, her lowest year-end singles ranking since 2005. She also won four WTA Doubles titles. Her decline in form in singles was later explained by a knee injury that required surgery.

2012

She started the year at the 2012 Australian Open, where she lost in the first round of qualifying to Bibiane Schoofs in a marathon three-set match. She then rebounded, qualifying into the main draw in Bogotá, winning five total matches to enter the quarterfinals, where she fell to Hungary's Tímea Babos. Shvedova then entered the 2012 Monterrey Open, where she beat countrywoman Sesil Karatantcheva in the first round. She lost to Mandy Minella in the second round.

She then played in Acapulco, before playing in a $25K ITF event in Irapuato, where she reached the final. She continued her rise in form at another $25K ITF event in Poza Rica, where she won the title, dropping only one set the entire tournament. She continued her tour, reaching the third round of the Premier-level 2012 Family Circle Cup, losing to Sabine Lisicki. Shvedova then played two more European tournaments before the French Open.

At the 2012 Roland Garros Championship, Shvedova qualified into the main draw. There, she defeated Mandy Minella, Sofia Arvidsson, and Carla Suárez Navarro. In the fourth round, she beat defending champion Li Na to advance to her second grand slam quarterfinal. This is Shvedova's biggest win in singles. She lost to reigning Wimbledon champion Petra Kvitová in the quarterfinals.^[6] In doubles, she also reached the quarterfinals with Vania King.

On 15 June 2012, Shvedova and her partner Sania Mirza made a shock first-round exit from the Aegon Classic.^[7]

At the 2012 Wimbledon Championships, Shvedova received a wild card into the main draw. There, she defeated Chanelle Scheepers and Kiki Bertens to reach the third round. In the third round, she faced tenth seed Sara Errani and won the fourth "Golden Set" in the history of tennis. She won all 24 points in the fifteen-minute-long first set, blasting 14 winners and making 0 unforced errors before losing the first point of the second set to break the sequence.
