Welcome to the forum, laysguerrero.
Yeah, I too expect that. FYI: Some commentary is saying lately that Elena is a "doubles player who turned to singles" -- suggesting that's in imitation of Stosur. That's not true. Vesnina has never been a doubles specialist. At the same time that her singles career didn't progress fast as she'd have wanted in 2007, her doubles aptitude emerged unexpectedly at Fed Cup. She stepped up alongside Petrova at Stowe, VT and defeated Venus Williams & Lisa Raymond in a deciding fifth rubber to save the tie for Russia on American soil. Russia went on to take the Cup that year. Raymond freely admitted it was Elena who had shocked them.
Since then, she's won several doubles titles with various partners. (She even played with Masha one time.) But she never stopped contending in singles--just Western broadcast has avoided letting the cameras get on her. Now it appears her delayed singles development is moving ahead nicely. I hope to see her come up strong.
She's a life-long resident of Sochi. While tennis is not a winter sport, the city is a developing tennis center and the tennis players have been major boosters of the Sochi Winter Games in 2014. Expect to see her promotional profile rise as well.
