When he was six years old his grandfather would bring him to the Tennis Centre in Kiev, Ukraine. Tennis coaches started to notice Sergiy's great talent and big future at the age of nine. It was then he was removed from the group clinics and given one-to-one coaching. Sergiy competed in swimming until he was 14 but realized his dream was to become the best tennis player in the world. Sergiy believes the best is yet to come and will do whatever it takes to achieve his goals.</p> <div class="clearfix" style="margin-bottom:30px"> <div style="float:left;width:230px;text-align:center"> <h3>Best Singles Ranking <span style="color:white;font-size:11px;font-weight:normal;">(27-Sep-10)</span></h3> <br> <img src="/web/20190128214713im_/http://www.sergiy-stakhovsky.com/images/3.png" class="cyfra" alt=""><img src="/web/20190128214713im_/http://www.sergiy-stakhovsky.com/images/1.png" class="cyfra" alt=""> </div> <div style="float:left;width:230px;text-align:center"> <h3>Best Doubles Ranking <span style="color:white;font-size:11px;font-weight:normal;">(6-Jun-11)</span></h3> <br> <img src="/web/20190128214713im_/http://www.sergiy-stakhovsky.com/images/3.png" class="cyfra" alt=""><img src="/web/20190128214713im_/http://www.sergiy-stakhovsky.com/images/3.png" class="cyfra" alt=""> </div> </div> <h3>Career Timeline</h3> <div id="r2013"> <h3 class="r2013">2013</h3> <ul class="ul1"> <li>On 26 June, recorded one of the biggest upsets in Wimbledon history by beating seven-time champion and World No. 3 Federer in 2R (it was Sergiy's first-ever victory over a Top 10 player in 21 meetings)</li> <li> Reached quarterfinals in Montpellier</li> <li> Reached second rounds in Moscow, St. Petersburg, London (Queen's Club), Nice, Bucharest and Chennai </li> <li> In challenger play, won the tournament in Kazan and finished runner-up in Le Gosier</li> <li> W-L: 11-17</li> </ul> </div> <div id="r2012"> <h3 class="r2012">2012</h3> <ul class="ul1"> <li>QF in Stockholm (he beat F.
