Olga Puchkova

Olga Puchkova (also known as Olga Poutchkova) (born September 27, 1987) is a Russian-Belarusian tennis player and occasional model. She has represented Russia for most of her career; and sometime represented Belarus.

2006 was a breakthrough year for her. She started the pre-US Open season outside the top 100 at 103rd in the world, and made it all the way more than 50 positions to 38th in the year-end rankings.

Career
Her career high ranking in singles was 32, in June 2007, after the French Open 2007. Wimbledon 2007 was the only Grand Slam she was left seeded, in 30th but lost to fellow Russian Elena Vesnina in the first round and won only four games. Her doubles career high was 247 in August 2012.

Puchkova has lost in the Grand Slams mostly in the first round. Olga Puchkova made the third round of the 2012 US Open as a qualifier, losing to French Open finalist and eventual semifinalist Sara Errani in straight sets.
