Former World No. 2 Vera Zvonareva of Russia is among the star attractions in the WTA L&T Mumbai Open Tennis to be held at the Cricket Club of India’s courts from November 18-26. Zvonareva, 33, bronze medal winner at 2008 Beijing Games and singles runner-up at Wimbledon and US Open in 2010 — the best year of her career — was racked by injuries in 2012 to slip down the rankings and then missed the entire 2013 season due to a shoulder surgery. “She is on a comeback trail this year after giving birth to a child,” said Sunder Iyer, secretary of the Maharashtra State Lawn Tennis Association.
