He spends more time in Germany (Munich) than in Moscow now which is more central and easier to travel to and from. He started learning English at age seven with a private tutor, and has also picked up German since moving to Munich.
He officially turned pro in 2005 although he started playing futures two years ago skipping the junior circuit at age 15.
Off court he enjoys ice hockey and follows NHL. His idol growing up was Pete Sampras, now he admires countryman Marat Safin a lot and still thinks Safin can get back to No.1 when fully fit.
He considers favorite shot forehand and favorite surface is hard court, despite winning three futures on clay last year. His aim this season is to improve his ranking as much as possible and break into Top 100, eventually aiming to be in Top 10.

Highlights of his results since he started to play on the pro tour.


Season 2003 :

Evgeny plays 3 Challengers in Germany and a Future in Mulhouse (France), he doesn't go further than secound rounds but the fact he decided to play pro so young already shows his determination to reach the highest level.


Season 2004 :

He perseveres, playing 14 tournaments, the first part of the season doesn't reveal his improvements, but experience and work started to pay from the month of July, he reaches :

  • 3 quarterfinals
  • 1 semifinal
  • 1 final

and end the year by a first victory :

  • Germany F16, Friedberg (clay)


Season 2005 :

Constantly progressing he keeps doing well and goes for a big season, with 24 tournaments played and really good performances.

He won 3 Futures and 1 Challenger :

  • France F7, Angers (clay)
  • Austria F6, Kramsach (clay)
