Career

[edit]

2019-2023: ATP debut and first win

[edit]

Kachmazov made his ATP main draw debut at the 2019 Kremlin Cup after receiving a wildcard for the singles main draw.[2]

He entered the main draw at the 2023 Chengdu Open as a qualifier but lost in the first round to Christopher O'Connell.

He entered the qualifying draw at the 2023 Astana Open as an alternate and won in the first round against third seed Fabian Marozsan and seventh seed Damir Dzumhur to qualify for his third main draw. He won his first ATP Tour level match against Corentin Moutet.[3]

2024: First ATP semifinal, top 200 debut

[edit]

Ranked No. 252, he again entered the main draw at the 2024 Chengdu Open as a qualifier and recorded his second and third ATP wins over two top 100 players Aleksandar Kovacevic,[4] Taro Daniel,[5][6] and top-30 player Nicolás Jarry[7] to reach his first ATP semifinal, becoming the lowest-ranked semifinalist in tournament history. As a result he reached a new career-high ranking in the top 180 on 23 September 2024, raising more than 70 positions up.[8][9]
