Career
Professional Career
2016 proved to be a breakthrough year for Gastão Elias. After winning ATP Challenger Tour tournament in Turin by defeating Enrique López-Pérez in three sets (3–6, 6–4, 6–2) and earning him position in Top 100 ATP ranking being ranked as 94th, Elias continued capitalizing on his Challenger Tour success as he won his sixth challenger title in Mestre, Italy by defeating Horacio Zeballos in straight sets (7–6, 6–2). In July 2016 Elias made his first splash on ATP World Tour tournament level in Bastad, Sweden after defeating Christian Lindell , Taro Daniel and pulling out upset against fellow compatriot João Sousa (6-2, 6-2) on his way to first ATP World Tour semifinal. However in semifinal Elias lost to Fernando Verdasco (3-6, 1-6). Later in July 2016 Elias participated in another ATP World Tour tournament in Umag, Croatia. Elias defeated Guillermo Garcia-Lopez (6-1, 6-2) in round of 32 and then pulled one of the biggest upsets of the tournament by defeating first seeded Pablo Cuevas in a close encounter (3-6, 6-3, 7-6). That win marked Gastão Elias first win over Top 20 player of the tour. After that Elias defeated Pablo Carreno Busta (6-4, 6-4) and reached his second consecutive ATP World Tour semifinal where he lost to Fabio Fognini in straight sets (3-6, 3-6). Reaching semifinal in Umag helped Elias to earn career high position in ATP World Tour ranking and entering Top 60 as the 60th ranked player of the tour.
Playing Style
Gastão Elias is offensive baseliner who puts focus on hitting hard and accurate groundstrokes to push his opponents and hitting winners, however also making comparable to winners amount of unforced errors. His serve and forehand shot are dangerous weapons, which are the main instruments in winning points, but return game is one of the weaknesses, which can be exploited by the best players whose game heavily based on strong serve and volley tactic. While feeling most comfortable at the baseline Elias makes occasional runs to the net, though these runs can`t be classified as the key aspect of his game. Although his favourite surface is hard, most of his success came on clay.
