Natalia Zvereva, the world’s 14th-ranked female tennis player and second seeded for a Virginia Slims tournament that starts today in Moscow, was told by her Soviet national team coach that she must decide whether to become financially independent or remain a part of the Soviet system.

“At the moment, Natalia doesn’t know what to do,” Soviet coach Olga Morozova said. “Everywhere she goes, Natalia says she wants to keep all her prize money. Yet I am the one who arranges her air tickets, hotels and a host of other things. She cannot have it both ways.”
