Svetlana Aleksandrovna Kuznetsova is a Russian professional tennis player.
Kuznetsova was born in Leningrad, Russia (now St. Petersburg, Russia). Her father Alexandr Kuznetsov has coached five Olympic and world cycling champions. Her father's protégés include her mother, Galina Tsareva, a six-time world champion and holder of 20 world records, and Svetlana’s brother, Nikolai Kuznetsov, a silver medalist at the 1996 Summer Olympics in Atlanta. Kuznetsova also tried out cycling in her early years, but it bored her. She focused on tennis instead and was sent to Spain when she was 15 years old for better training and coaching.
Kuznetsova is a very good mover on court and plays mainly from the baseline. Her strongest shot is her heavy forehand.
