Alexandr Dolgopolov (born 7 November 1988), formerly known asOleksandr Dolgopolov Jr. (Ukrainian:Олександр Олександрович Долгополов,romanized: Oleksandr Oleksandrovych Dolhopolov), is a Ukrainian retired professionaltennis player. He changed his forename spelling to the current form in May 2010.[5][6] Dolgopolov reached the quarterfinals of the2011 Australian Open and achieved a career-high singles ranking of World No. 13 in January 2012.
Alexandr's father,Oleksandr Sr., was a professional tennis player for the Soviet team, and his mother was a gymnast. He started playing tennis at age 3, coached by his father. The senior Dolgopolov was also the coach ofAndrei Medvedev, Ukraine's most successful tennis player to date. At a young age, Dolgopolov lived on the tour with his parents, traveling frequently and playing players such as Medvedev,Andre Agassi, andBoris Becker.[7] Players such asJim Courier remembered hitting balls with Dolgopolov when he was a toddler.
As a junior, Dolgopolov reached as high as No. 21 in the combined world rankings in January 2005. His best showing at a junior major was a quarterfinal at the 2005 French Open Boys' Singles, where he lost against Christian Bak.
Dolgopolov made hisATP Tour debut in September 2006 at theBCR Open Romania as a qualifier, losing in the first round toChristophe Rochus. He was also part of the UkrainianDavis Cup team in the tie against Great Britain, where he was defeated byAndy Murray.
Eventually, the younger Dolgopolov decided that he wanted less of his father's influence and develop himself in his own way. In 2009, at age 20, he parted ways with his father and enlisted the help of Australian Jack Reader as his coach.[7] He also changed his name from Oleksandr Dolgopolov Jr. to Alexandr Dolgopolov.[5] Dolgopolov and his father didn't speak for six months but have since reconciled with Dolgopolov Sr. stating that he is very proud of his son.[7]

Dolgopolov continued his form at the next Masters event, the2011 Sony Ericsson Open in Miami, reaching the fourth round with wins against ItalianAndreas Seppi andJo-Wilfried Tsonga. He then lost to world no. 1Rafael Nadal in straight sets.
Dolgopolov then suffered a disappointing start to the clay season, suffering four consecutive first-round defeats. He was defeated in the first round of the2011 Monte-Carlo Rolex Masters byErnests Gulbis and then lost toNikolay Davydenko in the2011 Barcelona Open Banco Sabadell. He was then beaten bySantiago Giraldo in the2011 Mutua Madrid Open and finally byPotito Starace at the2011 Internazionali BNL d'Italia. It was later disclosed that he was suffering from pancreatitis since the North American swing, which led him to play sparingly during the early clay season.[10]
Dolgopolov managed to regain some of his earlier form in his last clay tournament,2011 Open de Nice Côte d'Azur, before the2011 French Open. He beatFilippo Volandri andPere Riba to reach the quarterfinals. There, Dolgopolov pulled off an upset win over top seedDavid Ferrer. He lost toVictor Hănescu in straight sets in the semifinals.

He then beatAndreas Haider-Maurer comfortably to move into the third round but was beaten by Serbian 15th seedViktor Troicki in four sets.
Moving to the grass courts of Europe, Dolgopolov's first tournament was the2011 Gerry Weber Open, seeded seventh, he facedRobin Haase in the first round and defeated him in three sets before succumbing toPhilipp Kohlschreiber in two sets.

In March 2022, he returned to Ukraine as a volunteer to fight against theRussian invasion of Ukraine.[14] He is serving as a drone operator.[15] In April 2022 followingWimbledon's ban on Belarusian and Russian tennis players, he praised the decision while stating "It doesn't matter if they're a world tennis player or just a regularperson in Russia", adding "If people are able to keep on living their regular lives, it's going to be tough to change the plans of Putin. Everyone has to feel [the sacrifice] because everyone in Ukraine is feeling it. Our people, our children, are dying and you cannot just close your eyes and be silent and pretend nothing is happening. Everyone has to try and play their role to help and the ATP should have a stronger stance like many others sports. The magnitude of what is happening here is not [reflected] by their actions. Their actions are weaker"[16]
In his early career, Alex has played two games for his country: in 2006 he lost toAndy Murray in Odesa, in a match against Great Britain. In 2007, he lost toAlexandros Jakupovic from Greece. Later, he was struggling with the Ukrainian tennis federation to get significant bonuses to play in theDavis Cup.[17][18] On 13 March 2011 Dolgopolov stated he wants to represent Ukraine as a player, but only after the leadership of theUkrainian Tennis Federation changes.[19] Dolgopolov has hinted in late January 2011 that he might change hiscitizenship.[20] According to him "Tennis is not a political sport as such asfootball. In tennis you choose what is best for you, where there are more prospects".[20] At the time, Dolgopolov stated this would mean "of course" he would switch to another Davis Cup team.[20] The President of the Ukrainian Tennis Federation Vadym Shulman stated in late February 2011 that he thought Dolgopolov was bluffing and blackmailing his federation.[21]
Dolgopolov had an unorthodox but all-court playing style; he counter-punched when needed, but could also be very offensive.Win or loss, he generally finished his matches with a high number of winners, but also many unforced errors.[citation needed]
His serve has a very quick cadence to it, the motion having little to no pauses within it. This allows him to generate fast first serves and great second serves, which catches most of his opponents off guard. In terms of timing, his service motion is similar to his ground strokes. Dolgopolov is able to quickly and suddenly hit the ball at the last moment, making him one of the most deceptive players on tour, as it is hard to anticipate where he is going to hit the ball.On his service return, he often chips back the first serve. He uses a unique jumping topspin forehand, which can be used to pull his opponents wide off the court.[citation needed]
His backhand is usually hit two-handed with topspin, but he often uses a one-handed slice. He can also flatten his backhand for winners and is capable of generating extremely high pace on that shot. He is not afraid to come to the net to finish off points, and he volleys quite well. With his speed, he is very efficient around the court.[citation needed]
Some have compared his style toRoger Federer's, but the Ukrainian's unusual style of varied pace and spins is more likeAndy Murray's among the leading players.[22] He has also been compared to French showmanFabrice Santoro for his unique use of shots and strokes.[10] Unlike Santoro, however, he can flatten his groundstrokes very efficiently in big matches, as seen in the 2011 Australian Open.[citation needed]
His slice is one of the best in the ATP. Following his four-set win over Dolgopolov in 2011 Roland Garros third round,Troicki said that he was not far from going crazy with Dolgopolov's dropshots.[citation needed]
Dolgopolov suffers from a hereditary disorder known asGilbert's syndrome, which affects his liver, blood and often causes fatigue.[10] His condition worsens when he has to cross continents in extensive travel, requiring intravenous drug treatments and monitored diets to get himself back on track.[23]
