Career

Schurbin played a few matches on the ITF Junior Tour until 2010 and achieved his best placement in the junior world rankings with rank 106 in early 2010.

From 2010, Schurbin also regularly took part in professional tournaments, initially exclusively those of the third-class ITF Future Tour . At the end of 2010, the tournament officials gave him a double wildcard for the double competition in St. Petersburg . At its premiere on the ATP World Tour , he and Andrei Jakowlew lost against Daniele Bracciali and Potito Starace . In 2012 he played in the same place with his partner. Here, too, they lost their match smoothly. Until 2013 he hardly had any successes, and in futures he rarely won more than one match. Then he was able to move into the top 1000 of the world rankings for the first time by the end of the year . In 2014 he won three futures in doubles, ending the year in the top 700.

After a year without participating in tournaments, Schurbin started the tournament again in 2016 and was able to reach his first future final in May. A little later, in Moscow , he qualified for the second highest tournament category, the ATP Challenger Tour, for the first time . He also fought his way into the main field in Meknes and Kenitra , but stayed there without a win. The year 2017 was similar: besides participating in the finals, he did not make a breakthrough in the world rankings. In 2018 he did better. He was in the final of five futures singles, two of which he won, so that he reached a new career high in the world rankings with 400th place.
