Pavlyuchenkova Unable to Break Through to a Deeper Run
She has featured in five tournaments this season, but Pavlyuchenkova has been unable to find herself a deeper run than a third round exit at the Yarra Valley Classic in the lead-up to the Australian Open.
A first round defeat at the Abu Dhabi Open, another at the Australian Open and two second round defeats in Melbourne and Doha have punctuated her performances this season.
That said, it must be quickly added, Pavlyuchenkova’s draw hasn’t been the kindest on her. Like for instance, at Abu Dhabi, she was drawn to face Ons Jabeur in the first round.
At the Australian Open, the Russian took on Naomi Osaka in her opener.
And in the second round at the WTA Doha last season, Pavlyuchenkova was up against Petra Kvitova who, like Osaka, went on to win the title.
What Pavlyuchenkova would like is a win against a player ranked higher than her and in Kudermetova she has an opponent she can try and get the better of to break this jinx.

Kudermetova on Three-Match Losing Streak
Despite having made a sterling start to the season, Kudermetova is on a three-match losing streak she would like to overcome and quickly.
Because, ranked 34th in the world, Kudermetova is now aiming to make it into the top 30 in the world for the first time and a good couple of runs over the next few tournaments should get here there.
She had begun the season by making it to the final of the WTA Abu Dhabi and later entered the third round of the Australian Open as well, losing to Aryna Sabalenka and Simona Halep respectively, but since then has lost in both her subsequent matches.
At the Adelaide International, Kudermetova was edged out by Shelby Rogers and then went down to Garbine Muguruza at Doha last week.
Can she stall this losing streak against a fellow Russian?
