Shamil Anvyarovich Tarpishchev or Tarpischev[a] (Russian: Шамиль Анвярович Тарпищев, IPA: [ʂɐˈmʲilʲ ɐnˈvʲarəvʲɪtɕ tɐrˈpʲiɕːɪf], Tatar: Шамил Әнвәр улы Тарпищев, romanized: Şamil Änvär ulı Tarpişev; born 7 March 1948)[6] is a Russian tennis coach and former player.

He then moved on to graduate from the State Central Institute of Physical Culture (ice hockey department), where he completed his degree in 1970.

[15] In 2014, WTA fined ($25,000), and forced Tarpischev to apologize for making racist and sexist comments regarding American Tennis Superstars Venus and Serena Williams.

Tarpischev was also banned/suspended from WTA tour involvement for one year because of his offensive rhetoric directed towards Venus and Serena Williams.

[16][17] Tarpishchev supported the joke in his unsuccessful attempt to be as funny as the host by turning it into an in-joke about the winning duo of Bryan brothers (Russian: братья Брайан, romanized: bratya Brayn) and the gender-neutral word (Russian: братия, romanized: bratia) meaning 'society, community' (analog to the English 'guys'): Tarpishchev blamed Stacey Allaster for initiating a scandal.

RTF team members included Daniil Medvedev, Andrey Rublev, Aslan Karatsev, Karen Khachanov, and Evgeny Donskoy.

Following the victory, Tarpishchev criticized the Russian Ministry of Sports decision to exclude all the main men's and women's team titles (Davis Cup and Billie Jean King Cup) from the ministry's list of world championships in tennis, thus to make the title-winning athletes ineligible for the locally prestigious (since 1934) award "Merited Master of Sports" (MMS).

At one time, when [Valentina] Matviyenko served as the Governor of St. Petersburg, I had managed to sign [the plan of] 12 city areas for the future tennis courts.

In 2007, he received a Certificate of Recognition and Appreciation from the President of Russia for his continuing efforts to ensure the selection of and awarding to the city of Sochi the XXII Olympic Winter Games.
