And, to prove how much he enjoys playing on American hard courts, last week the Finnish number one reached the semi-finals in Atlanta, beating Benoît Paire and Cameron Norrie along the way, before losing to the American Brandon Nakashima in three sets.
He has yet to win a senior title. However, he has appeared in twelve finals on the junior tours, winning ten of them, all on hard courts.

This is the first time he has qualified for the main draw of an ATP event this year, and he made it by winning too matches, both in straight sets.
First he beat Luke Saville of Australia, the world number 423, and then followed that up with victory over the 179th ranked Go Soeda of Japan
