Antons 5th ITF title and first since 2024. Feel like hes been around for ages but still only 24. Interesting to see if he makes any progress this year, didnt realise just how far hed fallen down the rankings
What has held him back? He seemed promising in 2020/21. I remember his run to the final qualifying round at Wimbledon where he narrowly lost in a 5 setter - and since he has never even broken the top 300.
Looking at his records, he seems to have peaks in October each year, half his finals hes played are in October. Probably means nothing, but just struck me!
I remember someone mentioning a while back that he was playing alongside doing a degree so wasnt 100% in on his tennis. I assume he has now finished his studies so hopefully he will give it a real crack this year and next, as he is certainly has the weapons to be a challenger level player.
