The stars of tennis tournaments today attract a lot of attention to their personalities. Fans are eager to learn more about their sports idols. And as soon as an athlete starts to get ahead, he immediately becomes interesting to hundreds of thousands, or even millions of fans of a particular sport. This is also the case in tennis. One of the most popular and well-known tennis players in Russia today is Anastasia Sergeevna Pavlyuchenkova.
Childhood of a tennis star
Her biography began on July 3, 1991, when a daughter named Nastya was born in a family of two athletes in Samara. The girl's parents, Sergey and Marina Pavlyuchenkov, are recognized sports masters. His father was professionally engaged in rowing, and his mother was engaged in swimming. Naturally, their child could hardly imagine any other options for his activity, except for sports.
Anastasia also has a brother who also chose tennis as his path. Later he joined his sister's team and accompanied her to various tournaments, and also helped her in training. By the way, not only parents in Anastasia's family are distinguished by their love of sports. The girl's grandmother played basketball professionally, while her grandfather was a member of the group of basketball referees in the USSR.
The girl began her tennis career when she was barely 6 years old. Her first coaches, in turn, were first her mother, then her father, and later her brother, who himself was professionally fond of tennis, joined the business. Since that time, the court has replaced toys for the girl. She began her day on the court, and ended on it.
It was the family that helped the athlete to become who she is. The girl always felt the support of her relatives and friends, who took upon themselves the solution of everyday issues during her championships. Therefore, she not only did not have to spend time on arranging herself at the site of the championship, but she could constantly feel reliable support from her loved ones, which is also important for a professional.
Junior records
Anastasia Pavlyuchenkova began her career with a loud statement of herself at junior competitions. In 2006, when she was 14 years old, the now famous Russian tennis player won prizes at the Australian Open. She participated in both singles and doubles competitions. During the singles final, Nastya managed to bypass 15-year-old and promising Caroline Wozniacki. In the doubles competition, she was with Sharon Fitchman on the court, and together they won a landslide victory.
This stage played an important role in the entire further sports career of the girl, because she became the leader of the junior ranking. In the summer of the same year, the girl went to the semifinals of the Open Championship in France. But here she could not take the place of the leader on the podium - the girl lost to Agnieszka Radwanska.
In doubles she participated in the Roland Garros competition. Here she played in tandem with her longtime rival, Caroline Wozniacki. At Wimbledon, the girl played in tandem with the Romanian tennis player Alexandra Dulgeru. And then they also won the victory.
The open championship among juniors, held in the USA, also brought positive points to the tennis player's piggy bank. And here she participated in a single draw. In the final, Pavlyuchenkova was able to bypass the Austrian Tamira Pashek. When there was a period of doubles competition, Anastasia performed in an alliance with Sharon Fitchman. And again the result was high - the pair reached the final.
The next year was no less fruitful and successful for the Russian tennis player. She won the Open again, all over there in Australia. She received victory points for revenge over American Madison Brengle. At Wimbledon in the same year, Anastasia was able to take a leading position in tandem with Urszula Radwanska.
Pavlyuchenkova received her last title as a junior in 2008 - then she managed to win a pair competition at the Australian Open. Another Russian woman, Ksenia Lykina, made her a couple.
Training
When Anastasia Pavlyuchenkova was 16 years old, and behind her was a number of convincing victories in the field of tennis, her parents made a rather difficult decision. In order to continue to move non-stop and develop her sports talent, the girl needed high-quality professional development under the guidance of highly professional coaches. It was decided to move the girl to France, where Patrick Mutorgla became her mentor.
There is information, which, however, is not confirmed by the tennis player's parents, that they had to sell the car and change the apartment to a less spacious one in order to send Nastya abroad. It is known that training abroad is very expensive.
Anastasia worked here with different coaches. They were professionals from France and coaches from the USA. And in 2013, she completely fell under the wing of one of the most famous tennis players Martina Hingis.
Naturally, the results of such a fruitful preparation were not slow to show. And Pavlyuchenkova's adult career is no less successful than her junior achievements.
The athlete has 9 titles of the Women's Tennis Association. In addition, she reached the Fed Cup final twice. And today she is called one of the 20 best tennis players in the world according to professional and specialized ratings.
Personal life
How Anastasia Pavlyuchenkova lives is of interest to many. But it is clear that due to the tight training and competition schedule, she does not have much time for training and rest. And with her personal life against that background, everything is also not so simple: while her whole personal life is mom and dad, brother and numerous friends. She has no husband yet.
Everyone who communicates with her notes that she is an open and sociable girl, the tennis player has many accounts on social networks, where she willingly shares the details of her life with subscribers.
Among her interests is football. Moreover, she often likes to be present at the matches live. She usually goes to the stadium to cheer for her favorite teams together with her friends. Pavlyuchenkova is also a fan of cinema, but it is impossible to single out any one genre that would interest her. And she also does not shy away from an active social life - she can often be seen at various shows, if they are held at the time when the tennis player arrives in the capital of Russia.
