Artem Vitaliyovych Smyrnow ( Ukrainian: Артем Віталійович Смирнов ; English transcription Artem Vitaliyovych Smirnov ; born February 2, 1988 in Kiev , Ukrainian SSR , Soviet Union ) is a Ukrainian tennis player .

Career

Smyrnow played a few tournaments as a junior and achieved his best placement there with rank 88 in early 2006. He did not play a Junior Grand Slam tournament.

In 2007 Smyrnow played his first full year with the professionals and immediately made it into the top 400 of the tennis world rankings. He won two ITF Future Tour titles as well as his first victory in a Challenger , the next higher tournament category. He played for the first time in 2007 for the Ukrainian Davis Cup team , for which he has so far had a record of 4:10 in nine matches. In the following years the Ukrainian was usually listed between 350 and 450, but never made the decisive breakthrough to be able to play regularly at Challengers. There he repeatedly failed to win more than one match. It wasn't until 2014 in Milan that he made it into the round of eight for the first time. In doubles, he had meanwhile reached his career high in August 2010 with rank 159, after winning his only Challenger title in Bytom . His greatest success in the individual was reaching the finals at the Challenger 2015 in Szczecin, Poland . There he defeated his first top 100 player in the round of 16 with Robin Haase . In the final he lost to Jan-Lennard Struff . Through this success and the temporary rise in the rankings, he was able to start in the qualification of a Grand Slam tournament in Roland Garros and Wimbledon , but always lost at the beginning. In May 2016, Smyrnow was at his career high with 226th place. The following years remained less successful and Smyrnow fell out of the top 500.

In his career, Smyrnow achieved 22 futures titles in singles and 34 futures titles in doubles. In the latter, he managed to win at least two futures every year from 2007 to 2018, with the exception of 2016. In singles he won at least one title every year from 2009 to 2016.
