Ljudmila Pavlov (born 30 June 1974) is a Serbian former professional tennis player.
Yugoslavia
[edit]Active during the 1990s, Pavlov is a native of Novi Sad and developed an interest in tennis as there was a club near the radio station her parents worked at.[1] She was a contemporary of Monica Seles, who is the same age and also grew up with her in Novi Sad. It was an injury to Seles that gave Pavlov a Federation Cup debut for Yugoslavia in 1991.[2]
College tennis
[edit]Pavlov played collegiate tennis for Northwestern State University in Louisiana.[3] In 1994 she became the first player from Northwestern State to earn a national collegiate singles ranking and she was named Southland Conference player of the year.[4] Plagued by shoulder problems for much of the remainder of her collegiate career, she graduated from Northwestern State with honours in 1997.[5][6]
