Mirnyi receives a law degree in Belarus

Max Mirnyi, the UNICEF Good Will Ambassador to Belarus, whose playing partnership with Jamie Murray recently broke up and is contesting this week's Bank Austria Tennis Trophy in Vienna with Israel's Andy Ram, completed his degree in International Law at the Belarus State University in Mirnyis' home town of Minsk.

Mirnyi credited his years of working with the ATP, Nike and Wilson in children's projects to seek a diploma specifically for work carried out on the subject of the international protection of children's rights. Mirnyi and his wife Xenia have two daughters of their own, Melanie who will turn four in December and 18 month-old Petra.

In May 2004, he was voted to a four-year term as vice-president of Belarus Tennis Federation after being awarded the highest Belarusian government title "Orden Otechestva" following an epic Davis Cup encounter with Russia.
