Yevgeny Aleksandrovich Kafelnikov (Russian: Евгений Александрович Кафельников [jɪvˈɡʲenʲɪj ɐlʲɪˈksandrəvʲɪtɕ ˈkafʲɪlʲnʲɪkəf]; born 18 February 1974) is a Russian former world No. 1 tennis player. He won two Grand Slam singles titles, the 1996 French Open and the 1999 Australian Open. He also won four Grand Slam doubles titles, being the last man to have won both the men's singles and doubles titles at the same Grand Slam tournament, which he did at the 1996 French Open.

Career

Kafelnikov won the gold medal in the men's singles tournament at the 2000 Olympic Games, and was finalist at the 1997 ATP Tour World Championships. At the ATP Masters Series tournaments, he was finalist five times in singles, and won in doubles seven times. He was a member of Russia's Davis Cup winning team in 2002

Kafelnikov 2009

Since retiring from tennis, Kafelnikov cashed three times at the 2005 World Series of Poker.[1] He also played golf on the European Tour at the 2005, 2008, 2013, 2014 and 2015 Russian Open, 2012, 2013 and 2014 Austrian Open, and the 2014 Czech Masters, plus several Challenge Tour events, without making any cuts.

During the 2008 Miami Masters, Kafelnikov coached Marat Safin in the absence of Hernán Gumy. He participated in the ATP Champions Tour in 2009 and beat Sergi Bruguera, Michael Chang, and Pat Cash at the Chengdu Open in early November. In May 2011 he was ranked 7th on the Champions Tour.
