João Sousa is the highest-ranked Portuguese tennis player by the Association of Tennis Professionals (ATP).[1] He competes in the ATP World Tour , where he has won two singles titles in a total of seven finals played at this level.
A professional player since 2005, Sousa peaked at number 61 in the world junior ranking in 2007, shortly after entering the main draw of the Orange Bowl .[2] In June 2009, he won his first singles tournament, a Futures in Spain.[3] [4] Sousa started playing in the ATP Challenger Tour in 2008,[5] winning his first tournament at this level in June 2011.[6] Sousa debuted in the World Tour in 2008, playing that year's Estoril Open as a qualifier,[5] and won his first top-tier ATP singles title in September 2013, at the Malaysian Open .[6] [7] He has participated in all four Grand Slams , having three third-round appearances at the US Open (2013 ) and Australian Open (2015 and 2016 ) as his best performances.[8] While focusing on his singles career, Sousa has also competed in doubles; his best record is the quarterfinals of the 2015 US Open .[9]
Sousa holds several Portuguese men's tennis records. In October 2013, he became the first player to break into the ATP singles ranking top 50,[10] and in 2015, he secured a year-end top-50 ranking (no. 33) for the second time in his career, with 38 wins.[11] [12] In 2014, Sousa was the first Portuguese to play exclusively at the ATP World Tour in a single season,[13] and the first to be seeded in a Grand Slam main draw (2014 US Open ).[14] He was the fourth Portuguese player to reach the singles top 100, and the second to do it in both singles and doubles rankings (after Nuno Marques ).[15] Sousa is also the Portuguese tennis player with the largest career prize money ever and most wins at Grand Slam singles tournaments.[16] [17]
