| Bio | He is a Bosnian professional tennis player. He began playing tennis at age 5. By winning the 2017 St. Petersburg Open singles tournament, Džumhur became the first player competing under the Bosnia and Herzegovina flag to claim an ATP Tour title. He added also a triumph at the 2017 Kremlin Cup and became the first player in tennis history to win both events played on Russian soil in the same season. Džumhur is also the first male player to represent Bosnia and Herzegovina in the main draw of any Grand Slam. He is a member of the Bosnia and Herzegovina Davis Cup team, and he competed at the 2016 Summer Olympics, being selected as the first male tennis player from his country to do so. As a junior, he was ranked world No. 3 and he was a bronze medalist at the 2010 Youth Olympic Games. Džumhur was born in Sarajevo as a first child to Nerfid and Žaneta Džumhur. His birth in a maternity hospital located near the Zetra Olympic Hall came shortly after the outbreak of the Bosnian War. The arena was destroyed at the time, but it was the same place where Damir would start practicing tennis. From the beginning, Džumhur has been coached by his father Nerfid, who has been running a tennis school since 1994. He started playing tennis at the age of five and began practising professionally in 1999 after the renovated Zetra Olympic Hall opened. In his early years, he participated in local events, mainly in Bosnia and Herzegovina, Croatia and Serbia and Montenegro. His first major success came in 2004 when he won the unofficial U–12 European Championships in Rome. That year, he played a total of nine tournaments, winning all of them and losing only four sets in the process. Before turning 18, Džumhur competed in various tournaments held across the continent and organized by Tennis Europe. He finished the 2005 and 2006 seasons ranked 87th and 25th respectively in Europe's under-14 boys' singles rankings, and in the years 2007 and 2008, he finished as the 13th- and 17th-ranked player in the under-16 category. In 2008, Džumhur started competing in official ITF junior tournaments in the under-18 category. In that year, he played six tournaments in total, winning one and reaching the final of another. He closed his first season at this level with 17 wins and 5 losses, and was ranked 299th in the world for juniors. The following season Džumhur participated in 20 such events, winning two titles, and with a 45–17 win–loss record, he finished ranked 35th. However, he was not ranked by ITF in those two years due to insufficient appearances in premier events. In 2010, Džumhur played in 12 tournaments, four of which he claimed. That includes the triumph in the U–18 European Championships in Klosters, after beating Andrés Artuñedo Martínavarro in straight sets in the final. In August 2010, by defeating Victor Baluda, Džumhur won the bronze medal in singles event at the 2010 Summer Youth Olympics in Singapore, where he was also a country representative during the Opening Ceremony as a flag bearer for Bosnia and Herzegovina. That year he appeared in his only three junior Grand Slam events, where he achieved a second round finish at the Roland Garros, a quarterfinal finish at the Wimbledon Championships and a third round finish at the US Open in singles competitions and also a Quarterfinal, second round and Quarterfinal finish in doubles, respectively. In July 2010 Džumhur was placed third on the ITF world rankings, and he finished this year on 4th place with 40 singles wins and 8 losses. In 2010, he played his first two matches in Davis Cup for Bosnia and Herzegovina, winning both of them in matches against Estonia and Portugal. Džumhur turned professional in 2011, making his debut at the ATP World Tour in Zagreb during qualifying for the 2011 PBZ Zagreb Indoors. He spent his first years as a pro mainly on the ATP Challenger Tour and in ITF Men's Circuit tournaments. He won twelve singles and eight doubles Futures titles overall, as well as reaching the finals twice in Challenger events – the 2013 Košice Open and 2013 Poznań Open, losing in three sets on both occasions to Mikhail Kukushkin and Andreas Haider-Maurer respectively. In that period Džumhur took part in four Davis Cup ties involving Bosnia and Herzegovina, playing in total of eight rubbers, winning in two singles and one doubles matches. He ended his first fully professional season on 339th position, while the next year he finished inside the Top 250. In 2013, Džumhur climbed into the top 200 in the world singles rankings, first achieved on August 19, 2013, and eventually he finished the year at World No. 187. In January 2014, Džumhur became the first male Bosnian representative to play in the main draw of a Grand Slam, having reached the third round of the 2014 Australian Open, where he eventually lost to 7th seed Tomáš Berdych. On the way to this stage, Džumhur defeated Dustin Brown, Niels Desein, Ruben Bemelmans in qualifying competition, before winning against Jan Hájek, and 32nd seeded Ivan Dodig. He received praise from Berdych and Novak Djokovic after the tournament. Džumhur then played for his country in Davis Cup first round match against Greece, where he lost in four sets to Markos Kalovelonis, ranked No. 691 at the time. However, in his next match he came back from two sets down and won against Alexandros Jakupovic, sealing a 3–1 victory for Bosnia and Herzegovina over Greece. This was then followed by a series of unsuccessful appearances in a combination of World Tour and Challenger Tour events across Europe and the United States, where Džumhur made his debut in ATP World Tour Masters 1000 cycle, having played in the qualifying of the Indian Wells Masters and the Miami Masters, where he won his sole eight points during that period. He finished his first hard-court part of the season by helping his country beat Finland in the 2014 Davis Cup Group II second round. Džumhur opened his clay campaign by winning 2014 Mersin Cup – his first Challenger tournament in his career. On the way to this triumph, he defeated Guillaume Rufin, Egor Gerasimov, Thomas Fabbiano and Matteo Viola in straight sets. That was followed by a win over Pere Riba in the final match, which allowed him to achieve career-high singles ranking. Džumhur became only the second player (after Amer Delić), who has ever won a Challenger tournament under the Bosnian flag. In May that year, at 2014 Roland Garros, he qualified for a second straight Grand Slam tournament, where he lost in the first round to 26th seed Feliciano López. Straight after, he went on to win his second Challenger title, at 2014 BRD Arad Challenger, in Romania, by beating Pere Riba again in the final which moved him into the top 110 in th ATP rankings. Later in June, Džumhur took part in his only matches of the season that were played on grass, losing both of them in three sets – to Ante Pavić in singles and to Gero Kretschmer and Alexander Satschko in doubles, during the 2014 Wimbledon Championships qualifying event. During his clay-court season, Džumhur won in Italy his third title of the season at 2014 San Benedetto Tennis Cup, by beating Andreas Haider-Maurer in the final in straight sets. That gave him his first ever direct entry into the main draw of a Grand Slam tournament – the 2014 US Open. He was defeated in the first round by David Ferrer, who was ranked No. 5 at that time, losing in four sets. A week before the start of the US Open, Džumhur qualified for the first time in his career to an ATP World Tour event, which was the 2014 Winston-Salem Open, played on hardcourt, where he lost in two sets to Adrian Mannarino. His last Davis Cup appearance of the season ended in a three-set defeat to Ričardas Berankis, which sealed victory for Lithuania and left Bosnia and Herzegovina in Group II of the Europe/Africa Zone. In Autumn 2014 Džumhur was unsuccessful in his hardcourt appearances, however he twice achieved his career-high ranking of 101. On both occasions he was one point short of entering the ATP top 100, and would've become the first male Bosnian player to be ranked there. He eventually finished that season on 109th place, and thus did not achieve his goal, set in August, of finishing the year in the top 100, and did not gain direct entry into the first Grand Slam tournament of the new season – the 2015 Australian Open, but he fulfilled his initial wish of being ranked in the top 150 at the end of the year. Džumhur began the new season in India, where he was unsuccessful in his bid to qualify for the main draw of the 2015 Aircel Chennai Open, losing to Luca Vanni in the final qualifying round. For the first time in his career, he also took part in the main doubles draw of an ATP World Tour level tournament, playing alongside Aljaž Bedene. Later in January he failed to qualify for the Australian Open, after a three set loss to Tim Pütz in the second qualifying round, while being the top seed in the draw. After the Australian Open, Džumhur managed to win his first career singles match at ATP World Tour level at the 2015 PBZ Zagreb Indoors, against Michael Berrer, in three sets, after saving two match points, before falling to third seed Guillermo García López in two sets. It was also the first ATP 250 series tournament in Džumhur's career where he had direct entry. Right after the Croatian event, Džumhur went to the Dominican Republic, where he won the first edition of 2015 Milex Open, played on green clay in Santo Domingo, and became the first player to ever win a professional tennis tournament in that country. Džumhur did not lose a set on his way to the title and spent less than five and a half hours on court in total during the tournament. He won the final against Renzo Olivo by retirement. This followed wins over Benjamin Balleret, Bastian Trinker, Nicolás Jarry and Cristian Garín. Džumhur was then accepted into the main draw of the 2015 Morelos Open, as a special exempt, where he managed to win four more matches, bringing his tally to nine consecutive wins, and reaching his second consecutive final at Challenger level, and his first played on hardcourt. He lost to Víctor Estrella Burgos, but his semifinal win against Adrián Menéndez Maceiras, where he saved two match points, placed him in the top 100 of the ATP rankings, which made Džumhur the first male representative of Bosnia and Herzegovina to do so, and also the highest ranked player in a singles ranking list competing under the Bosnian flag (surpassing Mervana Jugic-Salkić's No. 99 ranking from June 2004). In March, he played in his debut ATP Masters 1000 tournament, at 2015 Miami Open, where he lost in three sets to James Duckworth after successfully passing through qualifying. With this event, Džumhur had completed the first hardcourt part of his season. At the beginning of April, Džumhur won three consecutive ATP World Tour 250 matches against Paul-Henri Mathieu, Marcel Granollers and Andreas Haider-Maurer at 2015 Grand Prix Hassan II in Casablanca, which gave him his first ever semifinal appearance at this level, and his ranking subsequently increased to 85th. He became the first Bosnian player, who has reached the semifinals of a World Tour event, before losing in three sets to second seed Martin Kližan. In May, Džumhur improved his career-best singles and doubles rankings, by reaching 81st and 342nd positions, respectively. Later that month he made headlines again after reaching third round at the French Open, where he lost to world No. 2 Roger Federer. After the match, Džumhur received approval from the Swiss, as well as described his pre-match feeling on facing his childhood idol as "dreaming". In the earlier stages of the tournament, Džumhur defeated Mikhail Youzhny, after the Russian retired while trailing by two sets, and defeated Marcos Baghdatis in four sets. Džumhur prepared to play on grass courts in Liverpool, where he was invited to play in the Liverpool Hope University International Tennis Tournament, an exhibition. After playing a total of four singles matches, he was named as a joint runner-up, together with Pablo Andújar. Džumhur was drawn against Federer in his first ever main draw appearance at Wimbledon, and he lost to the eventual runner-up in straight sets. For the first time in his career, Džumhur competed in the doubles main draw at a Grand Slam event – playing alongside Aljaž Bedene, they were defeated by Steve Johnson and Sam Querrey, also in straight sets. During his summer clay court season, Džumhur advanced to his first doubles Challenger final, at the 2015 Sparkassen Open, playing together with Franko Škugor, which gave him his career-high doubles ranking. A couple of unsuccessful singles appearances at Challenger level caused Džumhur to drop to 100th place on the ATP singles list, which was still enough to gain direct entry to the US Open. Džumhur's lost in the fourth round there in four sets against 24th seed Bernard Tomic. After 50 days without a win, Džumhur managed to win five consecutive matches in five days at the TEAN International, losing two sets in the process and winning his fifth Challenger title, defeating home player Igor Sijsling in three sets. He later went to Morocco to play three clay Challengers in Kenitra, Mohammedia and Casablanca, winning the last one by defeating Daniel Muñoz de la Nava in a three-set final, which gave him his highest ever ranking of 77th. He eventually finished his 2015 season ranked 82nd, after a series of failed attempts at clay court South American Challengers during the months of October and November. Like the year before, Džumhur had not achieved his goal of reaching the top 70, but managed to fulfil the initial one, ranking inside the top 100, allowing him to be directly accepted into the 2016 Australian Open. Džumhur started the new season in Doha at the 2016 Qatar ExxonMobil Open. He defeated Marco Cecchinato before losing to Tomáš Berdych in straight sets. He later moved to Australia, where he was defeated in the 2016 Apia International Sydney qualifying by Maximilian Marterer, and then was drawn to face Kyle Edmund in the first round of the Australian Open. He came back to defeat him in five sets and then faced 15th seed David Goffin, losing in four sets. He later took part in a series of two indoor and then two outdoor hard court events across Europe and North America, losing in the second rounds in Sofia, Memphis and Delray Beach before losing to Dominic Thiem in the first round of 2016 Abierto Mexicano Telcel in Acapulco, the first ATP World Tour 500 series tournament in which Džumhur participated in the main draw. Džumhur began the month of March in Indian Wells, being crushed by Marcel Granollers in the first round, losing twelve consecutive games. After a second round exit at the 2016 Jalisco Open, he returned to the United States to play another Masters 1000 event, the 2016 Miami Open. In the opening round Džumhur defeated Leonardo Mayer, which was his third win over a top 50 player, and his first in which the opponent did not retire, and first singles triumph at this level. In his second match he faced former world No. 1 Rafael Nadal, ranked 5th at the time, who retired when Džumhur was serving while leading in set three - this match was Džumhur's first ever top 10 win. He then defeated Mikhail Kukushkin in the third round, before losing to Milos Raonic in the Round of 16, finishing the first part of the season ranked 87th. His clay court season started in Roquebrune-Cap-Martin, where Džumhur played in 2016 Monte-Carlo Rolex Masters. After qualifying, he beat Robin Haase and world No. 7 Tomáš Berdych, achieving his second win against top 10 opponents and improving his head-to-head record with the Czech to 1–2. He was then defeated by Milos Raonic, being two points away from reaching the quarterfinals. He then took part in two consecutive ATP World Tour 250 series tournaments in Bucharest and Istanbul, losing to Marco Cecchinato in the second round, and to Diego Schwartzman in the quarterfinals, respectively, despite having a match point in the latter match. Later he qualified for another Masters 1000 event that season, losing in the first round of the 2016 Internazionali BNL d'Italia to Jérémy Chardy in three sets, while in the meantime he managed to improve his career-best ranking to 71. In Roland Garros he was eliminated in the first round, being defeated in four sets by João Sousa. His fourth successive loss came in the opening round of a Challenger circuit event – 2016 UniCredit Czech Open where he retired due to right ankle injury. It was the last tournament he played before the grass season. On June 9, Džumhur received a Tripartite Commission Invitation, which gave him the right to represent Bosnia and Herzegovina at the 2016 Summer Olympics, as the first male tennis player to do so in the country's history. On July 19, 2016, Džumhur was confirmed as a direct entrant to the men's singles draw, due to the withdrawal of several players from the Games. Hence, his invitation was transferred to a fellow Bosnian tennis player, Mirza Bašić. For the second year running Džumhur took part in the Liverpool International Tennis Tournament played in June in Liverpool, and after winning both of his singles matches, including the Sunday final against Paolo Lorenzi, he was crowned champion. Džumhur then continued his 2016 Wimbledon Championships preparations at the 2016 Aegon Open Nottingham, beating in three sets the title-holder Denis Istomin, with the match being suspended after the second set due to darkness, and then losing on the same day to Vasek Pospisil. The triumph against Istomin was his first recorded professional grass court win. Džumhur then competed at the third major of the year in London. He won his first round match by defeating Denis Kudla in five sets before losing to Pierre-Hugues Herbert in round two. In July Džumhur won both singles rubbers he played for Bosnia and Herzegovina in a 3–1 victory against Turkey, helping his country progress to the promotional play-offs. Then, he played his last clay court ATP World Tour event of the season in Umag, defeating Nicolás Almagro and Thomas Fabbiano before losing a three-set quarterfinal battle with Fabio Fognini. Džumhur's maiden participation at the Summer Olympics ended in the first round as he was defeated by Dudi Sela in two sets. The match was overshadowed by an incident with Israeli spectators abusing Islam and Bosnia, particularly Džumhur, accusing him of being Muslim, which he denied. It caused a match suspension as the chair umpire Gianluca Moscarella had to intervene on the stands separating Džumhur's coach & father Nerfid from Sela's fans. His poor form continued in the United States, where Džumhur lost in the first matches in both of the tournaments he entered as a build-up to the 2016 US Open, namely in the Western & Southern Open and the Winston-Salem Open. After four consecutive losses, Džumhur upset the 17th seed Bernard Tomic in the first round of the US Open, which was a repeat of the match they played the previous year, marking his first ever win at the US Open. He was then however defeated by Illya Marchenko in straight sets. After reaching the semifinals at the TEAN International, where Džumhur was forced to retire in the third set due to a right shoulder injury, he helped his national team to win 5–0 a Davis Cup tie against Lithuania in Vilnius, winning against Laurynas Grigelis in straight sets, which helped Bosnia and Herzegovina progress to the Europe/Africa Zone Group I for the very first time. Immediately after, Džumhur went on to play at the 2016 Moselle Open, losing to Guillermo García López in the opening round, worsening their head-to-head record to 0–3. Then, Džumhur headed to Morocco to play his last two clay-court Challengers. Despite being the top seed in both of them, he lost early to lower-ranked opponents, dropping out of the top 90 before entering the last phase of the season, a series of hardcourt indoor European tournaments. Firstly, at the 2016 Kremlin Cup he came back from a 1–4 deficit in the third set versus Karen Khachanov to win 6–4, despite the Russian serving for the match twice, and progressed to the second round where he was forced to retire against Pablo Carreño Busta due to food poisoning. Džumhur managed to reach the main draw of 2016 Erste Bank Open, recording his first ever ATP World Tour 500 level match win, defeating Nicolás Almagro in the first round. He then lost to Ivo Karlović in the final set, despite having a 5-1 lead. Džumhur concluded his season in Paris, losing in the 2016 BNP Paribas Masters qualifying to Dustin Brown. Nevertheless, after these tournaments Džumhur moved back into the top 80, where he finished the season. Again, he did not fulfill his end-of-season ranking goal (set for a top 60 finish this time), however he maintained his career trend of closing every single season higher than the previous one. He ended the 2016 season at No. 77 in the rankings. On December 15, Džumhur was named by Nezavisne novine readers as Bosnian Athlete of the Year and was presented with the award at the ceremony in Sarajevo organized by the newspaper itself and Radio and Television of Bosnia and Herzegovina. The new season for Džumhur was opened with a straight set defeat to Dudi Sela at the Chennai Open. His poor start to the season continued in Melbourne, where he lost in the first round of the Australian Open to Viktor Troicki, coming back from two sets down before eventually losing in five. Džumhur was criticized for his attitude on court, as he was involved in an argument with the chair umpire, which caused a point penalty to be given to him. At 3-4 in the final set, Džumhur requested the supervisor to come on court, shortly before he lost his serve and allowed Troicki to serve for the match, which he did successfully. The Bosnian refused to shake the chair umpire's hand after the match. Later he took part in the first ever Europe/Africa Zone Group I Davis Cup tie for Bosnia and Herzegovina, after the promotion won in Vilnius in the previous season, facing Poland in Zenica. Despite fitness problems, Džumhur managed to play against and defeat Hubert Hurkacz in straight sets, contributing to a 5-0 win and Bosnia's progress to the second round to face the Netherlands at home. Soon after he went on to play Sofia Open, where he was beaten in his first match by Andreas Seppi, who had been involved in a clay court Davis Cup tie in Buenos Aires only two days earlier. Džumhur recorded his first ATP wins of the season in Memphis, where he defeated Kevin Anderson who was returning from injury, coming back from a set and a break down, and also defeated Steve Darcis in straight sets. In his fourth career ATP World Tour quarterfinal he fell to Ryan Harrison. Damir's form continued in Delray Beach as he defeated Konstantin Kravchuk and barely lost to Juan Martín del Potro, receiving appraisal for his display from the Argentinian. Džumhur then went on to play in the 2017 Dubai Tennis Championships, where he achieved his biggest career win to date, by eliminating defending champion, world No. 3 and current US Open title holder Stan Wawrinka winning 7–6, 6–3. In the second round he overcame Marcel Granollers, also in straight sets, reaching yet another quarterfinal, and his first on ATP World Tour 500 level. He was there defeated by Robin Haase in their third career meeting, worsening their head-to-head record to 2–1. Due to points won in Dubai, Džumhur broke into the top 70 for the first time, achieving a singles ranking of 67 on March 6. Damir's first ever win in Indian Wells, over Ryan Harrison in the opening round, gave him yet another career-high ranking improvement. Despite a second round loss to Albert Ramos Viñolas, and after a withdrawal from the 2017 Irving Tennis ClassicDžumhur was ranked 66th on 20 March. His appearance at the Miami Open ended in the second round, where he was eliminated by Nick Kyrgios, after saving five match points to win the opening match against Hyeon Chung. On April 7-9, Džumhur played for his Davis Cup team, fighting for a place in World Group play-offs. After defeating Thiemo de Bakker in straight sets, in he called the best match he ever played for Bosnia and Herzegovina, he faced Robin Haase in the fourth rubber, with Netherlands leading the tie by 2-1. Despite trailing by two sets to love and 0-4 in the third one Džumhur managed to level the match, only to lose eventually in five sets, ending Bosnia and Herzegovina's hopes of promotion. Damir's attitude was broadly commented on as he was involved in multiple arguments throughout the match with the chair umpire, the ITF supervisor, Haase and other members of the Dutch team. In the months of April and May Džumhur was in poor form, playing in various ATP clay-court tournaments across Europe. Firstly he failed to progress through the Monte-Carlo Masters qualifying, but managed to play in the main draw as a lucky loser, though lost again to Robin Haase. He was then twice eliminated in the second rounds of the Budapest Open and the Istanbul Open, before losing in the first matches in Rome Masters qualifying, Nice and Roland Garros. At the end of the month he was ranked 96th and split with Serbian head coach Marko Subotić. In June, Džumhur went back to the Challenger circuit, playing on that level for the first time since October 2016. Even though he was a top seed in Lisbon, he was defeated in the opening round by 550th ranked Daniel Muñoz de la Nava. He then moved to Blois, France where he again competed as the highest ranked player. That time he managed to win all five matches and by defeating Calvin Hemery 6–1, 6–3 in the final he claimed his seventh ATP Challenger Tour singles title, moving up to 83rd place. It was followed by the only grass appearance of the season, at the 2017 Wimbledon Championships, where Džumhur firstly notched his most convincing Grand Slam match triumph defeating Renzo Olivo 6–2, 6–0, 6–1, before falling to Aljaž Bedene in a four-set second round battle. Next, he moved back to clay again, losing in the first rounds of the Umag and Hamburg events. August however saw him improving his form, winning 12 of 15 matches across three tournaments. Firstly he reached his second ever ATP semifinal in Los Cabos, Mexico losing to an eventual champion Sam Querrey in three sets. Then he was a runner-up in the Santo Domingo Challenger, losing to Víctor Estrella Burgos before achieving his career-best result in Winston-Salem where he defeated Denis Istomin, Gilles Simon, Horacio Zeballos, Hyeon Chung and Kyle Edmund en route to his first ATP Tour final, also becoming Bosnia's first player to reach an ATP World Tour final, where he lost to Roberto Bautista Agut. Immediately after, Džumhur entered the top 60 for the first time, climbing up to 56th place. This was followed by an appearance at the last Grand Slam event of the season, at the 2017 US Open. Džumhur managed to defeat 27th seed Pablo Cuevas and Cedrik-Marcel Stebe to reach the Round of 32 for the third time in his career, and the first at the US Open. Despite his defeat in four sets to Andrey Rublev, Damir moved up to his career-high ranking of No. 55. On September 24, Džumhur defeated Fabio Fognini in the final of St. Petersburg, claiming his first ever ATP World Tour title, which moved him up to 40th place on the ATP singles rankings. His form continued in China, as he reached his fourth straight ATP World Tour 250 semifinal, in Shenzhen, defeating world No. 4, Alexander Zverev, on the way moving up to world No. 36. This was followed by first round exits in Beijing and Shanghai. On October 22, Džumhur defeated Ričardas Berankis in a three-set final to claim the 2017 Kremlin Cup, pushing him to a new high ranking of world No. 31 the following day. He also made the doubles finals with Antonio Šančić but lost to Max Mirnyi and Philipp Oswald. He then reached the second round in Vienna, defeating Berankis again, and losing to Tsonga despite having a match point. He withdrew from Paris Masters, hence ending his most successful season to-date on an improved ranking of world No. 30, which qualified him to be a Commitment Player for 2018 season and have a seeding at the Australian Open, for the first time at any Grand Slam. On December 12, Džumhur was chosen as the 2017 Bosnian Sportsman of the Year. Džumhur started the year with a third round appearance at the 2018 Australian Open matching his best result at the tournament. He was defeated by world number 1 Rafael Nadal in straight sets.
