Career

Ivanov-Smolensky was a boys' singles semi-finalist in the 1998 Wimbledon Championships.[2] He also made the semi-finals in the boys' doubles, with Slovakian Frantisek Babej, which matched his efforts from Wimbledon the previous year, when he partnered Adrian Barnes to the semi-finals.[2] During his junior career he played a doubles tournament with Roger Federer, held at the Bollettieri Sports Academy in 1997.[2]

In 1998, Ivanov-Smolensky represented Russia in their Davis Cup World Group win over Japan in Osaka.[3] He played one match, a dead rubber against Takao Suzuki, which he lost in straight sets.[3]

On the ATP Tour, he appeared in the main singles draw of four tournaments, the 1998 St. Petersburg Open, 1999 Heineken Trophy, 2002 President's Cup and 2002 Ordina Open.[4] At each of those events he was beaten in the opening round, by four different Germans.[4] He did, however, make two doubles quarter-finals: at Tashkent in 1998 (with Dmitri Tomashevich), and Chennai in 2000 (with Orlin Stanoytchev).[4]
