Pavlyuchenkova is currently ranked 47th in the world, having played her last match of the 2025 season at the US Open in August, where she lost in the second round to Victoria Azarenka.
The Russian, who has won 11 WTA Tour singles titles, reached her career-high ranking of world No 11 in November 2021 after reaching the Roland Garros final earlier that year.

During the Indian Wells Open in 2024, Pavlyuchenkova spoke about Mathias’ fashion sense.
“My boyfriend is a very outrageous guy. He has an incredible fur coat that he wears skiing,” she said.
“I asked my mom to bring him a fur hat with a tail from Russia for his birthday. He sneaked it here, and I didn’t even know about it.
“Today I’m going out to warm up for the match, and he’s wearing it… I don’t even react.
“In the third set, I’m sweating all over, I’m not getting anything done, and then he pulls out his cape with peacocks… I started laughing right there on the court.”
She has also spoken about the support she receives from Mathias and admitted she is glad he is not from the tennis world.
“Thank God he’s not from tennis!,” Pavlyuchenkova declared in an interview.
“I have a lot of tennis in my life. But obviously, I’m so grateful because he’s been super supportive pushing me through. He’s the one who believes in me most, even more than I do. That helps and that’s very important for me, especially at this stage of my career.
“After traveling so much with me and watching all this tennis, he’s starting to understand it better but still, it’s a different perspective from someone who grew up in the sport. Luckily, he’s not coaching me anymore, so it’s just nice to have his support.”
