Keep an eye on this Russian tennis cutie pie, Anastasia Pavlyuchenkova. At the age of 17, she is already ranked 76th in the world.
Pavlyuchenkova is from Samara, Russia and turned pro in December, 2005. In 2006 she won both the Australian Open and U.S. Open junior titles and finished the season as the top-ranked girl in the ITF world rankings at age 15. In 2007 she didn’t do quite as well after joining the WTA tour. Still, she reached the 2nd round at Roland Garros, the 3rd round at Wimbledon, and the 2nd round at the US Open. She already has one career WTA doubles title, 3 ITF Women’s Circuit singles titles, and eight ITF Women’s Circuit doubles titles.
She has now graduated from High School and is working harder on her game, so expect to see more of her. And she is a cutie, so it will be enjoyable keeping our eyes on her. Another Russian cutie pie. Where do they all come from?
