He also notably won the men’s singles title at the Soviet Championships tournament three times, in 1979, 1981 and 1984. He later became a tennis coach in the Soviet Union and in the new Germany, to which he emigrated with his family after the collapse of communism in the early 1990s. His wife, Irina Zvereva (née Fateeva), was also a successful tennis player in the Soviet Union. Their two children, Mikhail (aka ‘Misha’) and Alexander, jnr. (aka ‘Sascha’), are also both tennis players and represent Germany.
