Frank Russell Dancevic (Serbian: Френк Расел Данчевић, Dančević, pronounced [dant͡ʃeʋit͡ɕ]; born September 26, 1984) is a Canadian professional tennis player. He first became the country's top singles player, according to ATP rankings, on February 10, 2003, as an eighteen-year-old, and remained so from January 30, 2006 until June 20, 2010. He is now the No. 6 Canadian in singles. Dancevic has reached two ATP singles finals (Indianapolis and Eastbourne), the quarterfinals of the 2007 Montreal Masters and achieved a career-high singles ranking of World No. 65 in September 2007.
In August 2011, Dancevic became the first men's singles player, in one calendar year, to enter the main draw of all four grand slam by playing the qualifying competition for each event.
As a junior, Dancevic reached as high as No. 20 in the world singles rankings in July 2001 (and No. 3 in doubles in 2002). He reached the quarterfinals of the 2001 Wimbledon Championships boys' singles.
The right-handed Dancevic turned pro in 2003 and reached his career high singles ranking in September 2007 at world No. 65. A native of Niagara Falls, Ontario, he was at that time the highest ranked men's Canadian singles player since Daniel Nestor, who was ranked world No. 61 in September 1999. It was Fred Niemeyer whom Dancevic overtook to become, in early 2006, Canada's top-ranked singles player.
Dancevic's best tournament results to date, all in singles, have been reaching the final of the 2007 Indianapolis Tennis Championships, the final of the 2009 Aegon International, the quarter-finals of the 2007 Rogers Cup, the semi-finals again in Indianapolis in 2009, the semi-finals of the 2008 Campbell's Hall of Fame Championships, and winning the 2003 and 2006 Granby and 2003 Lexington, 2006 Waikoloa, 2008 Surbiton Challenger Series, and 2012 Dallas Tennis Classic events. His best doubles result has been reaching the final of the 2007 Japan Open, partnering Stephen Huss and winning Granby in 2004 while playing with Brian Baker.
