Irena Pavlovic (Serbian: Irena Pavlović, Ирена Павловић, pronounced [irěːna pǎːʋloʋitɕ]; born 28 September 1988) is a French former tennis player of Serbian descent.[1][2] Born in Serbian capital Belgrade, she moved to Paris when she was three.[1]

Pavlovic won four singles and 14 doubles events organized by the International Tennis Federation. Her highest WTA rankings were No. 138 in singles and 107 in doubles.

She was awarded with wildcards for two WTA Tour tournaments in 2009, the Internationaux de Strasbourg and French Open, which was her first Grand Slam appearance. Pavlovic lost in the first round both times to Kristina Barrois and Akgul Amanmuradova, respectively. In her career, she defeated players such as Monica Niculescu, Anne Keothavong and Marina Erakovic.[3]

Early and personal life

[edit]

Pavlovic, born in Belgrade (SFR Yugoslavia then) to Dragan and Mirjana,[4] has a brother, Filip, who was a basketball player.[1] Russian tennis player Arina Rodionova is a good friend of Pavlovic,[5] who began playing tennis aged four, with Monica Seles as her idol.[1] Upon being coached by Christophe Serriere and Danyel Ristic,[4] she was coached at the Mouratoglou Tennis Academy.[6]
