Anastasia Pavlyuchenkova: Semifinalist - WTA Brisbane International:

Anastasia Pavlyuchenkova Anastasia Pavlyuchenkova of Russia plays a backhand during her quarter final match against Lucie Safarova of the Czech Republic during day five of the Brisbane International at Queensland Tennis Centre on January 6, 2011 in Brisbane, Australia.

What!  Another Russian!  They seem to be everywhere and Anastasia is currently ranked at #21.  She reaches her first semifinal this year at the Brisbane International, but loses to Petrak Kvitova.  This was her path to the semifinals -

SF - loses to Petra Kvitova (CZE) (#34) 64 46 62
QF - Lucie Safarova (CZE)       (#33) 62 67(4) 63
2R - Bojana Jovanovski (SRB) (#76) 62 75
1R - Alla Kudryavtseva (RUS)   (#60) 62 67(5) 63

Anastasia had to go through three grueling three-setters in this tournament but this should dust off all the rust from the off season and be good preparation for Melbourne.
