Yaroslava Vyacheslavovna Shvedova (Russian: Яросла́ва Вячесла́вовна Шве́дова, born 12 September 1987) is a Russian-born Kazakhstani tennis player.
Shvedova has won one singles and eleven doubles titles on the WTA tour, as well as four singles and four doubles titles on the ITF tour in her career. On 29 October 2012, she reached her best singles ranking of world number 25. On 23 February, she peaked at world number 3 in the doubles rankings.
Shvedova has made three Grand Slam singles quarterfinals, at the 2010 and the 2012 French Open and most recently at the 2016 Wimbledon Championships. She has won two Grand Slam women's doubles titles, the 2010 Wimbledon Championships and the 2010 US Open, partnering American player Vania King in both. Shvedova is also one of only 7 players to record a golden set in the professional era. She achieved this feat at the 2012 Wimbledon Championships in her match against Sara Errani, the only time a golden set was recorded in a Grand Slam.
She began wearing prescription sports glasses in 2012 after seeking medical advice about a nervous tic in one eye.
Shvedova is noted for her powerful serve, groundstrokes, and proficient net play. Shvedova's favorite serve is the flat serve down the T. Shvedova's weakness is her consistency on the forehand side.
In February 2007, she unexpectedly reached the final of the Sony Ericsson International in Bangalore, beating homecrowd favourite and No.2 seed Sania Mirza in the quarterfinals. In the final, she defeated top-seeded defending champion Mara Santangelo in straight sets, to win her first WTA Tour title. This win caused her to be in the top 100 for the first time, at 78.
