Junior career highlights:
-Won the GURU CUP 21st International Junior Tournament Salsomaggiore Terme in 2004.
-Reached the final of the French Riviera International Junior Open in 2004 as a qualifier.
As a pro already has two futures titles under his belt (Grottaglie and Teramo in 2005).
Yes, and I think the data on the ITF site is wrong about his residence. His coach is Italian and he plays a lot of tournaments in Italy - maybe he lives there, which should make him a good player on clay.
Golubev is not bad this year - 2 challenger QFs (1 in Grenoble this week), 3 futures finals, several victories over top-300 players...
His best ranking was 380 in May, i think next week he'll be even higher
In Grenoble Andrey had 2 interesting victories - in qualifying round he def. Lars Uebel 1-6 7-6 7-6 and then in 1st round they played again (Uebel was LL) and Andrey won 0-6 6-4 6-4
maybe i was wrong :shrug:
25 january???? wtf!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
tecau is on 19,ungur on 25,mergea on 26,pavel on 27,moraru on 28 wtf :lol:
Golubev is now on a career-high ranking of 303. He moved up around 100 positions since the beginning of the season. It's not a lot if we compare it to other young prospects, but still it's a progress. He finished the season on a high note, reaching the final in the last 3 futures he played, and winning two of them.
Hope 2007 will be the year of his breakthrough at challenger level.
Golubev is in top-300 already and he was in SF in Sassuolo (ITA) last week defeating Aldi 6-1 6-4 and Luzzi (#114 in the world) 6-4 6-3.
He lost 6-7(6) 7-6(7) 4-6 to H. Ruiz-Cadenas.
I think this week he will have highest ranking, maybe in top-250. Let's wait few hours
Nice to see Golubev establishing himself at the challengers. I've added a pic of him on the first post by the way.
