Dmitry Tursunov was brought over from Russia when he was 12yrs old by his now long time coach, mentor, and guardian Vitaly Gorin of the Gorin Tennis Academy. Vitaly and Dmitry worked hard to build the tursunov game and take it to the next level. After Tursunov had so much success Gorin realized how much he enjoyed stearing young talents in the right direction. So he decided to open up the Gorin Tennis Academy in California where Dmitry has called home since he was 12yrs old. Now they have many players and a great program running at the Gorin Tennis Academy because of Dmitry's great power game which is exciting to watch and his hilarious off court antics which landed him an episode of No Strings on the Tennis Channel. The Gorin Tennis Academy is featured in the episode. Dmitry is quickly becoming one of the most entertaining players to watch and one of the best personalities not only in mens tennis, but sports in general.

Tursunov has a quick wit and he was the ATP blogger of the week for the Estoril Open in May 2006. The blog was warmly received by tennis fans for his writing style and observations of the tennis world including: breakfast time, the tournament itself, the local drivers, and fellow players personalities, especially Marat Safin. [3] The Association of Tennis Professionals (ATP) was formed in 1972 to protect the interests of male professional tennis players. ... Estoril Beach Estoril is a civil parish of the Portuguese municipality of Cascais. ... Year 2006 (MMVI) was a common year starting on Sunday of the Gregorian calendar. ... Marat Mikhailovich Safin (Tatar: ; Russian: ; b. ...

When asked about the Russian and the U.S. tennis federations: "I was frustrated with both federations. When ever you need help, there is no help. Whenever you're doing well, people will offer you help," he confides. "It's like that in anything, not just tennis. In an ideal world, you would have a federation watching over you, pick players up early and lead them along."

Whether he is American or Russian: "I never really thought of myself as fully Russian or fully American," he says. "I was Russian, but then I left for a year and everyone was calling me an American. When I came back to America, everyone was calling me a Russian. It's a different position to be in."

On his game: "I do have a lot of weapons, but they misfire a lot."

On his Wimbledon performance and what it will mean for his exposure: "Well, I didn't make any money other than the prize money. That's always good. Hopefully I can buy a new stereo for my car. You know, other than that prize money, I don't think there's any sponsors knocking on my door." The Championships, Wimbledon, commonly referred to as Wimbledon, is the oldest major championship in tennis and is widely considered to be the most prestigious. ...

"I think it's changed. Maybe a couple years ago it would have happened. Now I'm 22. By prodigy standards, I'm pretty old. Neither fish nor fowl. I'm not an up-and-comer and I'm not a veteran either. It's very difficult for me to understand why I wouldn't have a sponsor. Technically there are a lot of people who get free clothes, like Justine Henin's husband, he gets sponsored by adidas even though he doesn't play tennis. I guess to them it means more in terms of exposure. I guess I'm not a big enough exposure for certain companies." Justine Henin; ( ) (born June 1, 1982 in Liège) is a Belgian professional tennis player from the Walloon (French-speaking) region of Belgium. ...

On what he gets for free: "I get my racquets for free, yes. I only have two actually, believe it or not."

On agents: I don't think that agents can make money if there's no one to pay the money. But, yeah, I have an agent.

On beating British Tennis players "It's actually a lot of fun to see people in tears, leaving the stadium and vowing never to come back to Wimbledon." The Championships, Wimbledon, commonly referred to as Wimbledon, is the oldest major championship in tennis and is widely considered to be the most prestigious. ...
