- Anastasia Pavlyuchenkova is a Russian tennis player.
A junior prodigy, Pavlyuchenkova won two junior Grand Slam titles, and became the junior World No. 1 in January 2006 at the age of 14. Pavlyuchenkova employs an all-court game, using aggressive groundstrokes and shots to dominate play. She possesses powerful groundstrokes off both wings and both are played relatively flat, with her forehand played with slight topspin. Both her forehand and backhand are much more powerfully hit when she hits it into the open court or when she hits a ball that has landed short. She also attacks the serve aggressively by hitting it into the open court powerfully, and this is especially evident when returning a second serve. She also possesses a good serve that combines power, with accurate placement to either get a head-start into the point or to win the point from the serve, with her being capable of serving several aces in a match; a tendency to take risks on her second serve, however, can lead to a relatively high number of double faults. Due to the aggressive nature of Pavlyuchenkova's game, she often accumulates high numbers of both winners and unforced errors.
She continued her success after turning professional, reaching a career-high singles ranking of world No. 13 on 4 July 2011.
Pavlyuchenkova has also been continuously ranked inside the top 50 since 3 November 2008, when she entered the top-50 rankings for the first time in her career. She trained at the Mouratoglou Academy from 2006 to 2009.
Pavlyuchenkova has won twelve singles and five doubles titles on the WTA Tour, as well as five singles and eight doubles titles on the ITF Women's Circuit. Her biggest singles titles to date have come at two Premier-level tournaments, the 2014 Open GDF Suez and the 2014 Kremlin Cup. She is a six-time Grand Slam quarterfinalist, having reached that stage at all four Grand Slams (at the 2011 French Open, the 2011 US Open, the 2016 Wimbledon Championships, and the 2017, 2019 and 2020 Australian Opens).
Pavlyuchenkova has enjoyed significant success in doubles as well, achieving a career-high ranking of No. 21 on 16 September 2013, reaching the quarterfinals at all four Grand Slams (at the Australian Open in 2013, the French Open in 2013, Wimbledon in 2014, and the US Open in 2015 and 2018) as well as winning title at the 2013 Madrid Open.
