Korolev Eugene, as a young budding tennis player, beat the venerable athletes by then. On his account several beautiful victories even over the ex-first rackets of the world. For a long time he was prophesied a great tennis future. But time passed, Eugene changed his citizenship in the hope of achieving even greater success, but these plans were not destined to come true. So who really is Korolev Eugene and what to expect from his future performances?
The beginning of a sports career
Like most modern tennis players, Korolev Evgeny takes his first steps in sports quite early. For the first time he gets to the tennis court at the age of four. Most likely, the parents of Eugene were impressed by the success of the cousin of Zhenya Anna Kournikova. The mothers of these tennis players are sisters. And, most likely, Zhenya's parents saw a career no less successful than that of a cousin. Moreover, the young Zhenya did a lot in tennis quite well, and many believed that he was a rising star in Russian tennis.
Sporting success
The first steps in professional tennis Korolev Eugene takes on challengers in Germany at the age of fifteen. Where he moved with his family when he was only ten years old. In 2005, begins to regularly perform at tournaments of the Asia-Pacific tour. And the progress of the young tennis player at that time was obvious to everyone. This progress lasts until 2010, when the athlete decides to change his citizenship and switches to appear under the banner of Kazakhstan. Eugene does not achieve much success in his tennis career. In 2009, he occupies the top 53 position in the world ranking and becomes the fourth tennis racket of Russia. During this time, he played in one final of the ATP Tour tennis tournament and, in addition, won five challengers. He has victories over such venerable players as Marat Safin, Nikolay Davydenko, Robin Soderling and Stanislas Wavrinka .
Transition to the national team of Kazakhstan
In 2010, Korolev Eugene, whose tennis success many Russian sports fans liked so much, decides to change Russian citizenship to Kazakh citizenship. A few years before this, some Russian tennis players took the same path, citing the fact that they had practically no prospects in the Russian team.
So did Korolev Eugene. After this transition, a recession began in the game and gradually he left the first hundred of the best APR tennis players. And in 2013, one of the Kazakh betting companies accuses him of participating in contractual matches. Today, the tennis player takes 1857 place in the ATP ranking and practically does not perform in competitions. Will the athlete, who once showed great promise like a phoenix from the ashes, show the future.
