Volkov won his first top-level professional singles title in 1991 at Milan. At Wimbledon that year, he lost a close match in the fourth round to the eventual tournament champion Michael Stich, 4\u20136, 6\u20133, 7\u20135, 1\u20136, 7\u20135 despite winning the same number of games as Stich overall in the match, which hinged on a lucky shot hit by the German when he was trailing 3\u20135 in the final set. As Volkov served for the match, with the score at 30\u201315 in his favour, a shot hit by Stich was heading out, but the ball made contact with the inside edge of the top of the net post, sailed over Volkov’s head, and landed inside the line, sparing the German from having to face two successive match-points during Volkov’s service game, and bringing the scoreline instead to 30\u201330. Stich went on to take the game; and subsequently Volkov would not win another.[2]Volkov was runner-up in three tournaments in 1992 and won his second title in 1993 in Auckland. Later in 1993, Volkov defeated Bj\u00f6rn Borg in the first round of the Kremlin Cup in Moscow, in a match which proved to be the last of Borg’s career. Volkov won the Kremlin Cup a year later in 1994 to claim his third (and final) career title. He reached one more final in 1997 in Shanghai.       (adsbygoogle = window.adsbygoogle || []).push({});after-content-x4His best Grand Slam singles performance was reaching the semifinals of the 1993 US Open, where he defeated Jonathan Stark, Kevin Ullyett, Amos Mansdorf, Chuck Adams and Thomas Muster before losing to Pete Sampras.Volkov was part of the Russian team that reached the final of the Davis Cup in 1994. He won singles rubbers over Patrick Rafter of Australia in the first round and Michael Stich of Germany in the semifinals. However, he lost both his singles rubbers in the final as Russia was defeated by Sweden 4\u20131.Volkov retired from the professional tour in 1998. His career-high singles ranking was world No. 14 in 1994. His career prize-money earnings totalled $3,362,786.He was Marat Safin’s coach before the duo split in July 2007.ATP career finals[edit]Singles: 11 (3 titles, 8 runner-ups)[edit]LegendGrand Slam Tournaments (0\u20130)ATP World Tour Finals (0\u20130)ATP Masters Series (0\u20130)ATP Championship Series (0\u20130)ATP World Series (3\u20138)Finals by surfaceHard (1\u20133)Clay (0\u20130)Grass (0\u20131)Carpet (2\u20134)Finals by settingOutdoors (1\u20134)Indoors (2\u20134)ResultW\u2013LDateTournamentTierSurfaceOpponentScoreLoss0\u20131Feb 1989Milan, ItalyGrand PrixCarpet Boris Becker1\u20136, 2\u20136Loss0\u20132Jan 1990Rosmalen, NetherlandsWorld SeriesGrass Amos Mansdorf3\u20136, 6\u20137Loss0\u20133Oct 1990Berlin, GermanyWorld SeriesCarpet Ronald Ag\u00e9nor6\u20134, 4\u20136, 6\u20137(8\u201310)Win1\u20133Feb 1991Milan, ItalyWorld SeriesCarpet Cristiano Caratti6\u20131, 7\u20135Loss1\u20134Jan 1992Wellington, New ZealandWorld SeriesHard Jeff Tarango1\u20136, 0\u20136, 3\u20136Loss1\u20135Mar 1992Rotterdam, NetherlandsWorld SeriesCarpet Boris Becker6\u20137(9\u201311), 6\u20134, 2\u20136Loss1\u20136Apr 1992Johannesburg, South AfricaWorld SeriesHard Aaron Krickstein4\u20136, 4\u20136Win2\u20136Jan 1993Auckland, New ZealandWorld SeriesHard MaliVai Washington7\u20136(7\u20132), 6\u20134Loss2\u20137Jan 1994Adelaide, AustraliaWorld SeriesHard Yevgeny Kafelnikov4\u20136, 3\u20136Win3\u20137Nov 1994Moscow, RussiaWorld SeriesCarpet Chuck Adams6\u20132, 6\u20134Loss3\u20138Feb 1997Shanghai, ChinaWorld SeriesCarpet J\u00e1n Kro\u0161l\u00e1k2\u20136, 6\u20137(2\u20137)Doubles: 3 (3 runner-ups)[edit]LegendGrand Slam Tournaments (0\u20130)ATP World Tour Finals (0\u20130)ATP Masters Series (0\u20130)ATP Championship Series (0\u20130)ATP World Series (0\u20133)Finals by surfaceHard (0\u20132)Clay (0\u20130)Grass (0\u20130)Carpet (0\u20131)Finals by settingOutdoors (0\u20132)Indoors (0\u20131)ATP Challenger and ITF Futures finals[edit]Singles: 1 (1\u20130)[edit]LegendATP Challenger (1\u20130)ITF Futures (0\u20130)Finals by surfaceHard (1\u20130)Clay (0\u20130)Grass (0\u20130)Carpet (0\u20130)ResultW\u2013LDateTournamentTierSurfaceOpponentScoreWin1\u20130Nov 1996Aachen, GermanyChallengerHard David Prinosil6\u20133, 7\u20136Performance timeline[edit]KeyW\u00a0F\u00a0SFQF#RRRQ#DNQANH(W) winner; (F) finalist; (SF) semifinalist; (QF) quarterfinalist; (#R) rounds 4, 3, 2, 1; (RR) round-robin stage; (Q#) qualification round;  (DNQ) did not qualify; (A) absent;  (NH) not held; (SR) strike rate (events won \/ competed); (W\u2013L) win\u2013loss record.Singles[edit]Junior Grand Slam finals[edit]Doubles: 1 (1 runner-up)[edit]Top 10 wins[edit]Season19871988198919901991199219931994199519961997TotalWins0023151410017#PlayerRankEventSurfaceRdScore19891.
