Personal life

Basilashvili was born 23 February 1992 in Tbilisi, Georgia. His father, Nodar, is a dancer of the Sukhishvili Georgian National Ballet, his mother, Natalia, worked as a physician.[3] He has a brother, Tengiz. Apart from his native language he also speaks Russian and English.[4]

Basilashvili started playing tennis at age 5. When he was 15 his family moved to Russia. From 2007 to 2011 he was coached in Sacramento, CA, United States and at 18 he returned to Georgia, only to uproot again and move to an academy in Turkey run by an Australian coach, Gavin Hopper.[5] In 2011, Basilashvili announced that he may play for Russia, but decided to keep playing under the Georgian flag.[6]

He has a son, Lukas who was born in 2015.

Domestic violence allegations

In May 2020, Basilashvili was arrested for allegedly assaulting his ex-wife, Neka Dorokashvili, in front of his then five year-old son. After a court hearing on Sunday and brief detention, a bail 100,000 Georgian Lari was paid and Basilashvili was released.[7] Basilashvili and his legal have since denied the charges.[8]

Junior career

Nikoloz did not play at any Grand Slams during his junior career. He reached a career high combined (singles and doubles) of world No. 59 on 5 January 2009. He ended his junior career with a 35–22 record on singles and 14–17 on doubles.[9]

Basilashvili played in his first ITF Junior Circuit tournament in late 2006 at the G2 Jerry Simmons Tournament. He lost in the first qualifying round.[10] In 2007, he managed to break through the qualifying of two G4 tournaments in Israel and a G3 in Romania. Nikoloz lost in the Round of 16 in all of them. Later that year, he reached his first semifinal at any junior tournament doing that in doubles for the first time at the US Junior Hard Court Championships, partnering Patrick Daciek. In singles, he reached that round at the G4 USTA Illinois losing to Filip Krajinovic, in September.[11][12]
