Natalya "Natasha" Maratovna Zvereva[a] (born 16 April 1971) is a former professional tennis player from Belarus. She was the first major athlete in the Soviet Union to demand publicly that she should be able to keep her tournament earnings.[2] Zvereva and her main doubles partner Gigi Fernández are the most successful women's doubles team (measured by WTA Tour and major titles) since Martina Navratilova and Pam Shriver.[3][4]
On 12 July 2010, Zvereva was inducted into the International Tennis Hall of Fame alongside Fernández.
