MUMBAI: Global sports and entertainment company IMG has announced that Russian tennis star Vera Zvonareva has signed the company for exclusive worldwide marketing and management representation.

Zvonareva, 24, is currently ranked No 6 on the Sony Ericsson WTA Tour and recently became only the second player in history (Lindsay Davenport 1997, 2000) to win both the singles and doubles titles at the 2009 BNP Paribas Open in Indian Wells, California. Earlier this year she reached the semi-finals of the Australian Open.

She says, "I feel like I have worked really hard and accomplished quite a lot on court in the last six months and working with a company like IMG that has such a worldwide presence will help me capitalise on these results. It will be great to have a global team guiding and helping me to take care of my business career so I can focus on my tennis."

IMG's tennis division head Fernando Soler adds, "We are really looking forward to working with Vera at this exciting time in her career. She is a very talented athlete with tremendous potential and we are thrilled that she has chosen IMG to further develop her blossoming tennis career."
