Evgeny Korolev is a Russian tennis player; also the cousin of retired Russian player Anna Kournikova. He began playing tennis at age four with his father and picked up his first ATP points at age 15 in three German Challengers. He can speak Russian, German, English and Spanish. He is currently the second-youngest member of the Top 100, behind only Juan Martin del Potro of Argentina. Lately, he has had success on the ATP Challenger Series and has started to appear on on the ATP Tour, reaching the quarterfinals in the Medibank International in early 2007. At Las Vegas, he made it to his first career ATP semifinal, taking out James Blake in the round robin stage, as well as fast-rising American Sam Querrey in the quarterfinals, before losing to Austrian Jurgen Melzer in 3 sets.
