Viktor Troicki
Viktor Troicki (Serbian Cyrillic: Виктор Троицки, pronounced [ʋîktor troǐtskiː]; born 10 February 1986) is a Serbian tennis coach and a former professional player. He won three singles and two doubles titles on the ATP Tour. Troicki won his first ATP singles title at the 2010 Kremlin Cup, and his second and third ATP singles titles at the 2015 and 2016 Apia International Sydney. His biggest achievements were a career-high singles ranking of world No. 12 (achieved in June 2011) and winning the deciding rubber in Serbia's Davis Cup final against France in 2010. Since then, in every Davis Cup he attended, he has contributed to Serbia reaching a quarterfinal or better. He is known for serving a 12-month ban for an anti-doping rule violation in 2013–14 for missing a blood test. By winning the inaugural ATP Cup in 2020, Troicki became the first player in tennis Open Era history to win all three major team competitions (Davis Cup in 2010 and World Team Cup in 2009 and 2012). In December 2020, Troicki was appointed captain of the Serbian team for the Davis Cup and ATP Cup.
Troicki was born on 10 February 1986 in Belgrade, SR Serbia, SFR Yugoslavia, to Aleksandar, a lawyer, and Mila, an economist.
He is of paternal Russian descent and maternal Serbian descent, and grew up in the Dorćol neighborhood of Belgrade.
Troicki's paternal grandfather, Mikhail Sergeevich Troitskiy (Mihajlo Sergejevič Troicki), then a young military cadet in the Russian Imperial Army who later became a structural engineer and bridge specialist, emigrated in 1917 from Tver and Rostov-on-Don to the Kingdom of Serbia, along with other White émigrés, fleeing the Russian Revolution.
His paternal great-grandfather was Sergey Viktorovich Troitskiy (1878–1972), a Russian and Serbian Orthodox canon theologian and church historian, university professor, author of several works on Orthodox Canon law, Doctor of Canon law (1961) and Dean at the University of Law in Subotica, who counted Russian Patriarch Alexy I of Moscow and General Pyotr Wrangel among his lifelong friends, starting from their studying days. Born into a priest's family, he graduated from the St. Petersburg Archaeological Institute in 1900 and earned a PhD in theology from the St. Petersburg Theological Academy in 1901. He went on to teach at the Alexander Nevsky Theological School and obtained a Master’s degree in Canon Law in 1913. In 1920, he emigrated to the Kingdom of Serbs, Croats, and Slovenes to join his family, who had already settled there.
Viktor grew up playing soccer and started playing tennis in his hometown of Belgrade at the age of five. His childhood idol was Andre Agassi.
As a junior, Troicki compiled a singles win–loss record of 68–31 (52–20 in doubles) and reached a combined ranking of No. 10 in the junior world rankings in October 2004.
