Georgian tennis player From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Lado Chikhladze (born 15 June 1985) is a Georgian former professional tennis player.
Chikhladze, a junior doubles finalist at the 2003 French Open, was a member of the Georgia Davis Cup team from 2004 to 2010. He appeared in a total of 16 ties, winning ten singles and nine doubles rubbers. All nine of his doubles wins came partnering Irakli Labadze, which is a Georgian record for a doubles pair.[1]
While competing on the professional tour he had a best singles ranking of 350 in the world and won seven ITF Futures titles. His career was interrupted by a life-threatening neck injury he received in December 2007, when he jumped into a pond and hit his head on the bottom, causing a broken neck. A year later, following several months of bed rest, he was able to make a comeback to professional tennis.[2] In 2012 he played in the qualifying draw for the BMW Open, an ATP Tour tournament in Munich.[3]
