Career
2023: First Challenger final
In October, he reached his first Challenger final in Ortisei, Italy and moved into a new career high in the top 290 in the rankings, that he first reached on 3 July 2023.
2024: First Challenger title, Grand Slam debut
At the 2024 Oeiras Indoors, he reached his second Challenger final, saving six match points in the opening round against Adrian Andreev, and then defeating two Portuguese players, wildcard João Domingues, second seed João Sousa and Valentin Royer. He won his first Challenger title with a win over another Portuguese Gastão Elias, becoming the second-youngest Polish champion in history to win a title. Only a 19-year-old Jerzy Janowicz was younger when he won his title in St. Remy, France in 2010.[5]
In June, he won his second Challenger title at home, at the 2024 Poznań Open. He became the third Polish champion in the history of the tournament, joining Jerzy Janowicz (2012) and Hubert Hurkacz (2018).[6]
Ranked No. 193, he made his Grand Slam debut, after qualifying for the main draw at the US Open but lost to Pedro Martínez.
