Professional career

[edit]

[edit]

In 2014, Gerasimov made his ATP main draw debut in Shenzhen, where he received entry to the main draw as a wildcard entrant.[2]

2015-2018: ATP Challenger success

[edit]

In July 2018, Gerasimov recorded his first ATP match victory on the hard courts of Los Cabos, defeating Bernard Tomic 6-4 6–3. He also beat the experienced big server Sam Querrey before facing defeat against world No. 4 Juan Martín del Potro.[2]

2019-2020: Major debut and first win, Top 100, Maiden ATP final

[edit]

At the 2019 US Open, Gerasimov won his first Grand Slam match, defeating Lloyd Harris 7-5 7-6 7-6, having progressed through the qualifying rounds. His good form continued in St. Petersburg, where he advanced through qualifying to his first ATP semifinal. He finally lost a close match to world No. 4 and home favourite Daniil Medvedev in straight sets. This result catapulted Gerasimov into the top 100 at world No. 98 for the first time on 23 September 2019.[3]

He reached his maiden ATP final at the 2020 Maharashtra Open where he was defeated by Jiří Veselý.[2] Two weeks later, he reached a career-high singles ranking of No. 65 on 24 February 2020.

2021: ATP semifinal

[edit]

Gerasimov made a strong start to the year, reaching the semifinals in Montpellier. He defeated wildcard, former world No. 1 Andy Murray in straight sets, Aljaž Bedene and Alejandro Davidovich Fokina before losing to eventual champion David Goffin in the semifinals.[2]

2022-2024: Hiatus, comeback, back to top 300

[edit]

He entered the 2023 Australian Open, the 2023 French Open, the 2023 Wimbledon Championships and the 2023 US Open qualifying using protected ranking where he lost in all, in the first round.

He also entered the qualifying competitions at the 2023 Chengdu Open and at the 2023 Astana Open using protected ranking. At the latter he qualified for his first ATP main draw in 2023 and he also received a wildcard in doubles with Mikhail Kukushkin. He won his first ATP match for the season and since April 2022, defeating Bernabe Zapata Miralles and moved back a couple of positions shy of the top 500.[4] Next he reached the semifinals at the 2023 Shenzhen Longhua Open defeating Kazakh Beibit Zhukayev and moved more than 100 positions into the top 400. He also qualified for the next new tournament in China, the 2023 Shenzhen Luohu Challenger and defeated seventh seed Denis Yevseyev.

In May 2024, he reached the final of the 2024 Wuxi Open in China but lost to Bu Yunchaokete.[5] As a result he moved 45 positions up into the top 275 in the rankings on 20 May 2024.
