Gauthier Onclin (born 26 February 2001) is a Belgian tennis player. He has a career high ranking of world No. 194 achieved on 18 September 2023. [2] [3]

Career

2023

In January, Onclin reached the semifinals of the 2023 BW Open in Ottignies-Louvain-la-Neuve where he lost to eventual champion and compatriot David Goffin. [4]

In May, he defeated the higher-ranked Elias Ymer at a Challenger event in Bordeaux in the first round. [5] At the 2023 French Open he defeated Nicholas David Ionel in straight sets in the first round of qualifying before losing to Argentine Thiago Agustin Tirante in three sets. [6] Onclin got his revenge over the Argentine in the qualifying at the 2023 Wimbledon Championships, winning in straight sets during his first ever grass-court summer, as his junior years coincided with the grass-court portion of the Tour cancellation due to the COVID-19 pandemic. [7]

In October, he received a wildcard in doubles for the European Open in Antwerp, alongside compatriot Michael Geerts. [8] At the same tournament, in the qualifying singles competition, he defeated higher-ranked American Maxime Cressy. [9]

2024: Maiden Challenger final

In May, Onclin reached his first Challenger final at the Prague Open. He lost to the former world No. 35 Jiří Veselý. [10]
