Teymuraz Gabashvili graduates in psychology from University of Phoenix – Tennis World

Russian Teymuraz Gabashvili now has an undergraduate degree in psychology. The Russian received the degree from the University of Phoenix, who have an online program in collaboration with the ATP Tour for players who want to pursue education while playing professional tennis.

Speaking to the ATP World Tor website, Gabashvili commented on his decision to pursue higher education, "To have a higher education in my home country, Russia, is an important factor for having a successful career. I decided to take this amazing opportunity that the ATP provided together with the University of Phoenix to get my degree by having a full scholarship. Opportunities like this are not open every day, so I thought that I had to take it. This was a chance for me to obtain higher education while being a pro tennis player with a tough schedule of travelling a lot. Doing online classes is the best opportunity for tennis players to get a degree, I think."
