Zvonareva made her debut on the WTA tour in 2000. The 39-year-old tennis player played in the final of a Grand Slam tournament in doubles for the fifth time in her career and for the second time in a duet with Siegemund. In 2020, a Russian and a German won the US Open title.

In 2010, together with Elena Vesnina, she lost in the Wimbledon final.
