Dmitry Igorevich Tursunov (Russian:Дми́трий И́горевич Турсу́нов,IPA:[ˈdmʲitrʲɪjtʊrˈsunəf]ⓘ; born 12 December 1982) is a Russiantennis coach and former player. At age 12, he moved to the United States to train and further his prospects of becoming a professional player. His career-high singles ranking is world No. 20, achieved in October 2006.
Tursunov jokes about his lack of ability and success onclay courts. He was sponsored byFila andWilson. He helped theRussian Davis Cup team win the2006 Davis Cup and reach the finals of the2007 Davis Cup.[citation needed][6]
Tursunov began playing tennis in Moscow at the age of five when his father made him play a few hours a day. He came to the United States to train with Vitaly Gorin.[7]
I practiced a few hours a day. My dad realized fairly early that I had a lot of potential. A lot of people criticize him for basically choosing that career for me. He understood that I didn’t have many options to make money and since he really liked tennis, he decided that I was to be a tennis player. It just happened that I was naturally good at it.[7]
Tursunov played his first match in June 1998 againstChris Groer in aFutures event in Los Angeles and won, but lost in the following round. In 1999, the Russian played in the Futures events in Philippines and United States and was able to reach two semifinals and a quarterfinal.

Following this match was a pro set mixed doubles between Russians Tursunov and Nadia Petrova and Spaniards Tommy Robredo and Anabel Medina Garrigues. This match was a clear show of the playful nature of Tursunov and the other players. The match was relaxed since the outcome of the mixed-doubles pro set match did not matter.
