Igor Kunitsyn (born September 30, 1981 in Vladivostok, Soviet Union) is a professional male tennis player from Russia. He made it into the top 100 for the first time in 2006 and reached a career high singles ranking of 72 on August 18, 2008.[citation needed]

He had his best[citation needed] match on the tour at the 2007 Tennis Channel Open's round robin match between Kunitsyn and Safin, where the winner would make it to the quarters. Kunitsyn had won the first set 6–4 and had an early break in the 2nd before Safin fought back and then got a 5–3 lead. While serving for the match, Kunitsyn broke Safin and then held to get it to 5–5. The set went to a tiebreaker which Safin won. Kunitsyn was still dangerous, as he won the first 3 games of the 3rd set, before losing the next 4. Kunitsyn performed the same as before, and broke Safin again to get the set on equal terms. At 5–5, Kunitsyn suffered a service break and Safin ultimately won the 3rd set 7–5.[citation needed]
