}}Michael Kures (born July 25, 1964) is a former professional tennis player from the United States.[1] He was born in Czechoslovakia, but moved to the United States at age four.[2]

Career

Kures, with partner Jonathan Canter, won the boys' doubles title at the 1982 US Open. The pair had been runner-up at the French Open earlier that year.[3]

He played collegiate tennis for the University of California, Los Angeles in the early 1980s.[2] In 1984, he was an All-American and a member of the NCAA championship winning team.[4] In 1985, he earned All-American honours again and made the Division I singles final, which he lost to Mikael Pernfors.[2]

On the Grand Prix tennis circuit, Kures had his best result at the Boston Pro Championships in 1988, beating Roberto Argüello, John Ross and world number-nine Brad Gilbert, before losing to Bruno Orešar in the quarter-finals.[2] He was a doubles semi-finalist at the 1987 Seoul Open, partnering Paul Chamberlin.[2]

Kures competed at the US Open four times and made the second round in 1984, defeating Hans Simonsson.[2] He was beaten by Mats Wilander in the second round.[2] His other appearances were in 1987 and 1988, as a singles player, and 1989, in the men's doubles draw. He also competed at the 1987 Wimbledon Championships and 1989 Australian Open.[2]
