Anastasia Sergeyevna "Nastia" Pavlyuchenkova[4] (Анастаси́я «Настя» Серге́евна Павлюче́нкова; born 3 July 1991) is a Russian professional tennis player. A junior prodigy, Pavlyuchenkova won three Grand Slam titles and became the junior world No. 1, in January 2006, at the age of 14. She continued her success after turning professional, reaching a career-high singles ranking of world No. 11 on 8 November 2021.[5]

For more than a decade, Pavlyuchenkova was continuously ranked inside the top 50 beginning 3 November 2008, when she entered the top-50 rankings for the first time in her career, until 5 June 2022. Between the 2008 French Open and the 2020 Australian Open, she participated in 48 consecutive Grand Slam tournaments, which is tied with Ana Ivanovic for the ninth-longest streak of consecutive Grand Slam tournament appearances in history.

Pavlyuchenkova has won twelve singles titles on WTA Tour and five singles 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 reached her first Grand Slam final at the 2021 French Open, having previously reached six other major quarterfinals at the 2011 French Open, the 2011 US Open, the 2016 Wimbledon Championships, and the 2017, 2019 and 2020 Australian Opens.

Pavlyuchenkova has also had success in doubles, having won six doubles titles on the WTA Tour and eight doubles titles on the ITF Circuit. She achieved a career-high ranking of No. 21 on 16 September 2013. She reached a total of six quarterfinals in the discipline across all four Grand Slams (at the Australian Open in 2013, the French Open in 2013 and 2021, Wimbledon in 2014, and the US Open in 2015 and 2018) as well as winning two WTA 1000 titles at the 2013 Madrid Open with Lucie Šafářová and the 2022 Italian Open with Veronika Kudermetova. She won the gold medal at the 2020 Summer Olympics in mixed doubles with Andrey Rublev.

In team competition, Pavlyuchenkova was also part of the winning team at the 2020–21 Billie Jean King Cup. Alongside Ekaterina Alexandrova, Daria Kasatkina, Veronika Kudermetova, and Liudmila Samsonova, they helped secure Russia's first Billie Jean King Cup title since 2008.
