Elena Vesnina (born August 1, 1986 in Lvov, Ukraine) is a professional female tennis player from Russia. She reached the fourth round at the 2006 Australian Open, losing to Nadia Petrova 6-3, 6-1. The following year she lost 8-6 in the third to Maria Elena Camerin in the second round.
Following a victory over Li Na at the end of 2006 6-2, 1-6, 7-6(11) after being down 0-5 in the third, and then losing to then-No. 1 Amelie Mauresmo 5-7, 6-3, 7-6(3), along with a 6-7(4), 6-4, 6-2 loss to Jelena Janković the following week, she was considered a promising talent.

Vesnina is considered to be a blooming all-court player; she sticks primarily to the baseline, but puts emphasis on ball placement and strategy. Vesnina is also proficient at net and can finish rallies from there after getting her opponent out of position. Her biggest weakness is widely believed to be her serve—Vesnina often double faults once or twice per game in her matches, but she has tried working on it.
