Zvonareva wins opener at season-ender
THE ASSOCIATED PRESS
DOHA, Qatar -- Vera Zvonareva defeated Russian compatriot Svetlana Kuznetsova 6-2, 6-3 on Tuesday at the WTA's season-ending Sony Ericsson Championships.
The round-robin match was the first played at the championships, which divides the world's best players into two groups of four before a playoff.
The ninth-ranked Zvonareva capitalized on error-strewn play by Kuznetsova, who often screamed in frustration after making mistakes.
Later Tuesday, top-ranked Jelena Jankovic of Serbia was scheduled to play compatriot Ana Ivanovic while American Venus Williams was to meet Russia's Dinara Safina.
