Svetlana Aleksandrovna Kuznetsova [note 1] (born 27 June 1985) is a Russian former professional tennis player. She was ranked as high as world No. 2 in singles and world No. 3 in doubles by the WTA. Kuznetsova won 18 singles and 16 doubles titles on the WTA Tour, including two singles majors at the 2004 US Open and 2009 French Open, and two doubles majors at the 2005 and 2012 Australian Opens.
Kuznetsova first took part in a WTA Tour event in 2001. Her first major title came at the 2004 US Open over compatriot Elena Dementieva, making her the third Russian woman to win a major. Kuznetsova's second major singles title was the 2009 French Open, defeating compatriot Dinara Safina in the final. At the 2006 French Open and the 2007 US Open singles tournaments she was the runner-up, both times to Justine Henin, raising her to a career-high singles ranking of world No. 2. After 2010, Kuznetsova's results declined, but slowly recovered through 2016, when she re-entered the top ten and reached the semifinals of the WTA Finals. She retired from the sport in 2021.
Kuznetsova was also successful in doubles. She won her first five WTA doubles titles with Arantxa Sánchez Vicario. Partnering Elena Likhovtseva, she climbed to No. 3 in doubles in 2004. She won the Australian Open twice in doubles, in 2005 alongside Alicia Molik and in 2012 partnering Vera Zvonareva.
