Teymuraz Besikovich Gabashvili (Russian: Теймураз Бесикович Габашвили, Georgian: თეიმურაზ გაბაშვილი; born 23 May 1985) is a Russian tennis player. He reached the fourth round of the 2010 and 2015 French Open.
Gabashvili began playing tennis at the age of six in Tbilisi, Georgia. His mom Anna, who is a doctor, took him to play tennis and began coaching him until the age of ten. Gabashvili's family moved to Moscow, Russia because there he had better opportunities to pursue his dream of becoming a pro tennis player. Andrey Kesarev began coaching him when he was ten years old and at the age of 18 he turned pro. He's nicknamed "Tsunami" because of his energy.
As a junior Gabashvili posted a singles win/loss record of 38–34 (47–29 in doubles) and reached as high as no. 33 in the junior world singles rankings (and no. 40 in doubles) in January 2002.
Junior Slam results:
Australian Open: 3R (2002)
French Open: 1R (2001, 2002)
Wimbledon: 1R (2002)
US Open: 2R (2001)
