Sony Ericsson WTA Tour introduces mobile phone-controlled video game

Vera Zvonareva may have been off of the tour for several weeks, but--as part of her comeback--she gets to play against a crowd of people. Today and tomorrow, in London's Covent Garden, fans will "compete" against Zvonareva in the new "Challenge a Hero" video game that is controlled by mobile phones. Fans will press phone keys to return Zvonareva's blistering groundstrokes (watch out for that backhand!), and prizes will be awarded.

If you're in London, get out your Sony Ericsson phone and see how you can do against Vera. And be careful--she doesn't need to go over on that ankle again.
