Personal life[edit]

He graduated from Fresno Pacific University in 2013, where he was a member of Phi Alpha Theta.[4] In 2014, he obtained a MSc in Global politics from Durham University. The following year he began doctoral studies in Systems theory under David Held.[5]
Professional career[edit]
Sinitsyn played on the Futures and Challenger circuits. His most notable singles victory was against Jeff Tarango, a former top 50 ATP player. Sinitsyn first obtained an ATP singles ranking in 2006 at the Mexico F16 Futures and in 2008 earned his first doubles points at the Canada F1 Futures, where he partnered with former Davis Cup player Adil Shamasdin.[6]
College career[edit]

As a freshman, he won the JuCo national doubles title with João Nogueira, and became the first FCC tennis player to win the Ojai Tennis Tournament, the oldest and largest amateur tennis tournament in North America.[7] The following season Sinitsyn transferred to FPU. His first season with the team was his most productive, winning the “Super Bowl” of small college tennis in the fall and leading the Sunbirds to their second NAIA Men's Tennis Championship in the spring.[8]

While at Durham, he helped the men's tennis team win several national titles, including the national doubles championship with Milan Pokrajac during the team's historic undefeated season.[9][10] His most notable victory came in doubles against current tour player Jonny O'Mara.[citation needed]
