Spartak Tennis Club, also known as Shiryaevka, is a tennis training ground located near Sokolniki Park in Moscow, Russia. Built in 1979, it formerly formed part of the Spartak sports society (which received its name by means of the then-popular Russian translation of the eponymous Italian book by Raffaello Giovagnoli).[1][2] It has 15 outdoor clay courts, which remain open for four months during the year, and two indoor courts.[3] The club is known for training a number of top Russian tennis players who have gone on to win Grand Slam titles.[4][5][6] Competition for places at the academy was high as of 2013 due to its rigorous training program.[7]
