1982

Mikhail Mikhailovich Youzhny (born 25 June 1982), nicknamed "Misha" and "Colonel" by his fans, is a Russian former professional tennis player who was ranked inside the top 10 and was the Russian No. 1. He achieved a top-10 ranking by the Association of Tennis Professionals (ATP) for the first time on 13 August 2007, and reached a career peak of world No. 8 in January 2008, and again in October 2010.Youzhny reached the quarterfinals of all majors, reaching the semifinals at the US Open in 2006 and 2010.

Youzhny was born on 25 June 1982 to Mikhail, a Soviet army colonel and Lubov, a professional tennis player.

25 June is also his father's birthday.

His father sacrificed his career in the Soviet army to steer Youzhny and his older brother Andrei into becoming tennis players.

It was because of his father that Boris Sobkin became his coach.

At the age of 13, he was a ballboy for a Russia – United States Davis Cup final in Moscow.

Youzhny's father was recommended that Mikhail and his brother should join the tennis club Spartak Club if they wanted to become professional players.

Mikhail and Andrei had to travel on an underground metro train and then on two buses to reach their destination, taking well over an hour to reach the club.

His mother had to take a part-time job to pay for their club membership fees.

At Spartak Club, Youzhny, along with many others his age, would watch Andrei Chesnokov, a former top-10 player, practice for hours.

However, his parents had difficulty finding a good coach for Mikhail and Andrei.

According to Mikhail, "It was not so easy. In the beginning me and Andrei would watch how coaches were working with students. Then we would make our own drills with a bag of old balls that we collected."

Remembering Youzhny's early years, Sobkin said, "Mischa and Andrei were practising together all the time without [a] coach".

Sobkin continued: "'In the beginning, Mischa is all the time breaking racquets and crying. Not so many coaches want to work with boy with strong character like this. So, they would practise on one court for 15 minutes and then comes a member so they must leave court immediately and move to another court. Ten minutes maybe 20 minutes later comes another member and like this all day. There was something in Mischa's eyes, a sparkle, maybe, I don't know. Sometimes the eyes tells more than parents. Of course, I did not see Mischa is Top 10 player then. But I could see he had something special.'"
