Matej Sabanov

Matej Sabanov (; born 25 June 1992) is a Serbian tennis player who specializes in doubles. He has a career high ATP doubles ranking of World No. 72 achieved on 18 April 2022. He also has a career high ATP singles ranking of No. 640 achieved on 20 October 2014.

He has won one ATP doubles title with his twin brother Ivan and 6 ATP Challengers and 26 ITF doubles titles. Sabanov formerly represented Croatia.

Early life and career Matej and Ivan Sabanov are twin brothers born in Subotica, a city that was part of the Federal Republic of Yugoslavia at the time, near the Croatian and Hungarian borders. They began playing tennis at the age of five or six and grew up competing alongside Serbian players such as Filip Krajinović and Dušan Lajović. Following the dissolution of Yugoslavia, Subotica became part of Serbia and Montenegro in 2003 and later Serbia in 2006.

At the age of 15, the twins moved to Osijek, Croatia, where their mother worked as a teacher. The move provided them with access to indoor courts, which were unavailable in Subotica. Around that time, they chose to represent Croatia in their professional careers. However, after their mother’s retirement, the family returned to Palić, near their hometown of Subotica.

His best career performance came in 2021 when he won his first ATP doubles title by winning the Serbia Open with his brother Ivan. They defeated Gonzalo Escobar and Ariel Behar in the final.

Sabanov represented Serbia at the 2022 ATP Cup, partnering with Nikola Ćaćić in doubles. The duo played in two ties, losing a decisive match against Chile in the third set, while winning their match against Spain in three sets.

He was part of Serbia's squad for the 2025 Davis Cup Qualifiers first round tie against Denmark in Copenhagen but did not feature in any matches.
