Korolev Evgeniy, being a young promising tennis player, beat the venerable by that time athletes. On his account, several beautiful victories even over the ex-first rackets of the world. For a long time he was predicted a great tennis future. But as time went on, Eugene changed his citizenship in the hope of achieving even greater success, but these plans have not yet come true. So who is really Korolev Evgeny and what to expect from his future performances?

The beginning of sports career

Like most modern tennis players, Korolev Evgeni makes his first steps in sports quite early. For the first time on a tennis court, he falls at the age of four. Most likely Evgeny's parents were impressed by the success of the cousin of Zhenya Anna Kournikova. Mothers of these tennis players are sisters. And, most likely, Zhenya's parents saw a career no less successful than that of a cousin. Especially since young Zhenya did a lot of tennis in tennis, and many believed that he was a rising star of Russian tennis.

Sporting successes

The first steps in professional tennis Korolev Eugene does on the Challengers in Germany at the age of fifteen. Where he moved with his family when he was only ten. In 2005 he began to regularly perform at the ATP Tour Tour. And the progress of the young at that time tennis player was obvious to all. This progress lasts until 2010, when the athlete decides to change his citizenship and moves to the banner of Kazakhstan. Great success in tennis career Korolev Eugene does not reach. In 2009, he ranked the top 53 in the world ranking and becomes the fourth tennis racket in Russia. During this time he played in one final of the tennis tournament ATP tour and, in addition, won in five Challengers. He has victories over such venerable players as Marat Safin, Nikolay Davydenko, Robin Soderling and Stanislas Wawrinka.

Transition to the national team of Kazakhstan

In 2010, Yevgeny Korolev, whose tennis successes liked so many Russian sports fans, decided to change Russian citizenship to Kazakhstan citizenship. Several years before, some Russian tennis players had gone along the same path, citing the fact that they had practically no prospects in the Russian national team.

So did and Korolev Eugene. After this transition, the decline in the game began and gradually he left the first hundred of the best tennis players of the ATP. And in 2013 one of the Kazakh bookmakers charges him with participation in contractual matches. For today, the tennis player takes 1857 place in the rating of the ATP and practically does not compete. Will the sportsman, who once had great hopes as a phoenix from the ashes, face the future?
