2021-2022: ATP debut, Turned Pro

[edit]

Holmgren made his ATP debut at the 2021 San Diego Open after receiving a lucky loser spot into the main draw after third seed Félix Auger-Aliassime withdrew. There, he lost to former world No. 3 Grigor Dimitrov in straight sets.[3][4][5]

2024: Maiden Challenger title, top 175

[edit]

In July 2024, Holmgren won his maiden Challenger title in Pozablanco, Spain, defeating top seed Antoine Escoffier in the final. Holmgren was the first Danish Challenger titlist since Holger Rune in 2022.[6] Two weeks later, on 5 August 2024, he reached the top 175 in the singles rankings at world No. 167 following another Challenger title at the 2024 Porto Open.[7]
