Pavlyuchenkova advances to quarterfinals

Russian cutie pie, Anastasia Pavlyuchenkova, made it through to the quarterfinals of the 2009 Moorilla Hobart International being played in Hobart, Australia. In that match, she lost in a close 3-set match to Petra Kvitova of the Czech Republic, 6-1, 5-7, 3-6.

In reaching the quarterfinals, Pavlyuchenkova had wins over Olivia Rogowska, 6-3, 6-1, and Carla Suarex-Navarro of Spain, 6-4, 6-1.

That should be good preparation for Pavlyuchenkova’s first appearance in the Australian Open.
