Vera Zvonareva: Beauty, brains and talent - This tennis superstar has it all
Being a professional tennis player and maintaining one’s performance to stay on the top is not an easy task to accomplish. But do these tennis players get the time to do anything other than developing and practicing their game? Many people think that the lives of these tennis stars are bound only to their game. But on the contrary, tennis players have other interests as well.
A new name which has reached the top in the world of tennis is that of the Russian performer Vera Zvonareva. Her highest career ranking has been fifth in the world and just a few days ago, her amazing performances had enabled her to reach the final of the Wimbledon Championships 2010. Unfortunately, she lost to Serena Williams in the final but to have her come such a long way in this prestigious tournament was a great achievement for this twenty five year old player.
Surely, Zvonareva’s talent for the game of tennis is what has made her name shine among all others. She is also considered to be one of the hottest female tennis players in the international circuit. She has an incredible body with stunning features, making her game look all the better to watch. This super hot and talented blonde has achieved much more than what meets the eye.
Sporting a spectacular career as a professional tennis player and a gorgeous appearance was just not enough for Zvonareva. It turns out that while other superstars are out buying the latest dresses and bags; this superstar is down at the book shop looking for some good books. Funny, because she sure does not look like the geeky type! However, it is true that this celebrity has a natural thirst for knowledge.
It turns out that, Zvonareva, who graduated from the Russian State University in 2007, with a degree in Physical Education and is now up for a greater challenge. She is now working on her second degree in International Economic Relations at the Diplomatic Academy in Russia, which explains the books! Why study when you already have a well-established career in tennis is what many would say. But there is no stopping Zvonareva. She claims to enjoy studying. The tennis star admits to the fact that even during her school life, most of the students hated studies but she loved it. Gaining knowledge was something that she loved to do and still does.
Even though it is not easy to manage a career in the game of tennis and education at the same time, Zvonareva is still up for it. When she is on tour for tournaments around the globe, she keeps in touch with her fellow students and teachers to remain up to date with regards to her coursework and says that she does not have much trouble in doing so. Tennis is a sport which demands a lot from an individual. In order to reach the top in this competitive game, one needs to put their mind and body at work to a great extent. Zvonareva has recently been in top form for Wimbledon and knowing that she has maintained this form along with working on her academics, it is something very impressive.
Is it possible that education is something the young Russian is using to prepare herself for a future other than that of tennis? When asked about it she said that she was not quite sure as to how she wants to put her education to use in her practical life. Time will tell how Zvonareva will benefit from her educational degrees. This tennis diva has it all – she has shown the world that she is not only good with her game, but she also has brains.
