Video: Kuznetsova Tweener Thrills Moscow


Svetlana Kuznetsova showed off her shotmaking skills en route to winning the Moscow WTA title for the first time in her career.

WTA: Kuznetsova Dominates Pavlyuchenkova in Moscow Final

In Saturday's Kremlin Cup final, Kuznetsova was already leading by a set against defending champion Anastasia Pavlyuchenkova. But the Russian veteran saved her best moment for the second set.

In the opening game, Kuznetsova chased down a deep Pavlyuchenkova lob and responded with a perfect tweener. That soon set up a winning backhand for Kuznetsova to take the game.

Kuznetsova's behind the legs shot earned praise on social media.

The two-time major champion went on to win the match and the title 6-2, 6-1. Moscow is now the 15th career title for Kuznetsova.
