His level of play doesn't seem to have reached the necessary level to meet WP:NTENNIS (Davis Cup having been removed a while ago). My searches in Belarusian (Эрик Арутюнян) are not giving any clear indication that he meets WP:GNG either. Head has information about him but Head is Arutiunian's sponsor so it is not a reliable, independent source due to their connection. Other than that, I can only find match reports like tennis.by and Minsk News, neither of which go into any detail about him as an individual. Probably WP:TOOSOON at best.

Delete - While Tennis Project Guidelines say that Davis Cup is likely to imply notability... nothing is etched in stone. This player has competed in singles only in tennis minor-minor league. These are filled with lots of kids. In the minor league Challenger tour he has only competed in one doubles event, and lost in second round. This player has not achieved notability in the sport, and unless someone can dig up some good Belarusian news coverage, the article should be removed.
