In 2004 she won the Russian Amateur Championship and did the same again in 2006. In 2007 she qualified for the Ladies European Tour (LET), and has since cashed in all but one "regular" tour event she's played so far. Verchenova has also recently qualified to play in the upcoming Women's British Open.
Maria Verchenova is already being tagged as the next Maria Sharapova of tennis. The only difference right now is that along with good looks, Sharapova is an established winner on the Tennis Tour. But hopefully Verchenova can follow suit and have a long and successful career.
