==Early life and family==
Mikhail Sumarokov-Elston was born on in 1893 to Count Nicholai Felixovich Sumarokov-Elston reserve Lieutenant of the Cavalry Regiment and Countess Sofia Mikhaylovna Koskul. He was the Great Great Great Great Grandson of poet Alexander Sumarokov and the Great Great Grandson of Field Marshal Mikhail Kutuzov.〔 He was the nephew of tennis player Count Pavel Sumarokov-Elston, who was his first coach and doubles partner, grandson of Count-General Felix Sumarokov-Elston, Governor of Kuban Oblast, and also cousin of the infamous Prince Felix Yussupov, who later became known as one of the collaborators who conspired to kill Grigori Rasputin, cult leader and mentor of Empress consort of Russia Alexandra.〔〔 Felix provided his own palace for the murder spot and also shot Rasputin once before finally murdering him with the help of his accomplices.〔 Mikhail had a sister called Elena and a brother Nicholas. At the age of twelve he had a surgery on his right hand, which as a result was rendered unsuitable for tennis and he later switched to left-hand play.〔 First he moved to Dresden and was trained by Kurt Bergmann and George K. Logie.〔 In 1906 he entered the second-class tournament of the Bad Homburg Championships, where he defeated Jack Hillyard amongst many to claim his first title.〔〔 With this he set a record of being the youngest winner ever at the time in the history of the tournament.〔 In 1908 his father and brother died within two weeks of each other. He moved back to his homeland and graduated first at the Annenschule then at the Law Faculty of the St. Petersburg University.
He volunteered for the Russian Red Cross motorized ambulance unit at the outbreak of World War I, and was assigned to the Black Sea Fleet. Her mother died on 3 April 1915. He was invalided out of the military service on 26 November 1916 and travelled home to St. Petersburg. Mikhail was arrested for a couple of days by the Bolsheviks, but released because of disagreement among the people who detained him. The family permanently emigrated from Russia in the midst of the Russian Revolution, which emerged from the social fallback of the World War.〔〔 First they fled to Koreiz where they were joined by fugitive Felix Yussupov who had been freed from his house arrest due to his involvement in the Rasputin murder.〔〔 They agreed to join the White Army, but General Anton Denikin refused the request because the princes had ties to the Imperial dynasty.
They sailed to Malta on 13 April 1919 aboard the British battleship HMS Marlborough, which also transported several other Russian nobility exiles including Empress Maria Feodorovna.〔 From there they moved to Rome. In 1920 he further moved to Nice, where he lived for 17 more years.
