Winston Salem Winner Ivashka
Ivashka has enjoyed his best year on tour, reaching a career high ranking and beating a player in the top ten for the first time, defeating Alexander Zverev in front of his home fans in Munich.
He then reached the fourth round oi Wimbledon, his best ever showing at a Grand Slam, but the icing on the cake came in Winston Sale, where he thrashed Mikael Ymer of Sweden to win his first senior ATP title.
From there he went to the US Open where he got to the third round for the first time, defeating Tennys Sandgren and Vasek Pospisil along the way, before eventually losing to Matteo Berrettini of Italy in five sets.
