A Saint Petersburg native, Mishin has a background in the sport of figure skating. He was a figure skater in his younger years and is the son of Alexei Mishin, an Olympic figure skater who became a famous coach, tutoring the likes of Evgeni Plushenko. His brother, Nikolay, also played tennis professionally.[1]

Mishin never competed on the international tennis tour, only featuring in events held in his home city. In 2004 he teamed up with Mikhail Elgin to win a Challenger doubles title in Saint Petersburg and two-months later the pair received a wildcard to compete at the St. Petersburg Open, an ATP Tour event.

Now working as a tennis coach, Mishin is married to one of his pupils, WTA Tour player Daria Mishina (née Mironova).[2]
