Youtube! Vera Zvonareva "Upskirt" grey panty on tennis bench of Australian Open 2012

Vera Zvonareva believes the experience she gained from last year's grand slam final appearances came to the fore as she squeezed past Lucie Safarova at the Australian Open today.
The Russian reached the title match at both Wimbledon and US Open in 2010 before losing to Serena Williams and Kim Clijsters respectively.

 Tough workout: Second seed Vera Zvonareva

But she garnered plenty of know-how along the way and put it to good use against Safarova, especially in a topsy-turvy tie-break which she won to clinch a 6-3 7-6 (11/9) triumph.
One break settled the first set but the second, after a flurry of dropped service games, went all the way.
Safarova wasted a set point at 6-5 and then again at 9-8 while, in between, Zvonareva also squandered too match point opportunities.
The key point in the breaker came at 9-9 when a Zvonareva backhand was initially called out only to be ruled in after Hawk-Eye intervened.

And there was no slip-up third time round as Zvonareva took the match to set up a
fourth-round encounter against Iveta Benesova, who beat Anastasia Pavlyuchenkova 6-3 1-6 7-5.
'I'm more experienced, more mature now,' Zvonareva said. 'I think I know myself better and I know what game I want to play, and it helps me during the key points.'
