Pavlyuchenkova Battles Past Konjuh in Opener
With a decent run of results under her belt — a second-round finish at the Canadian Open followed by a last-16 exit at the US Open, — Pavlyuchenkova drewtricky Croat Ana Konjuh in the opening round at the Ostrava Open.
The Russian, who reached her maiden Grand Slam final at this year’s French Open and finished runner-up, faced stiff resistance from Konjuh in the first set, which went to a tiebreak.
Pavlyuchenkova pipped the Croat in the tiebreak to take the opening set. With the momentum with her, the Russian found a higher gear in the second set and dominated Konjuh to close out a commanding straight-set victory.
The Russian is likely to face another stern test from 61st-ranked Czech star Tereza Martincova in her next. Though the pair haven’t played each other before, both are established names in the women’s circuit and punches wont be held back when the two go against each other for the first time.
In her first event since the US Open, Pavlyuchenkova would hope to rediscover the form that took her to the final at Roland-Garros and the last 16 at the Flushing Meadows. However, she has her task cut out against feisty opponent in Martincova.
