Dušan Lajović (Serbian Cyrillic: Душан Лајовић; born 30 June 1990) is a Serbian professional tennis player.

Lajović has won one doubles title[1] on the ATP Tour in his career. On 27 October 2014, Lajović reached his best singles rankings of world number 57.[2] On 8 June 2015, he peaked at world number 104[3] in the doubles rankings.

Tennis career

Lajović reached his highest individual ranking on the ATP Tour on 27 October 2014, when he became World No. 57. For a long time, he primarily played on the Futures circuit and the Challenger circuit. In 2011 he qualified for the Kremlin Cup, and lost in the first round of the main draw. In the 2011 St. Petersburg Open, he reached the quarter finals. In 2012, he began working with a new coach, Boris Bošnjaković, played in the Davis Cup for the first time, reached the finals of 2012 Orbetello Challenger and won the 2012 Samarkand Challenger. Replacing an injured Janko Tipsarevic, he played two live rubbers in the 2013 Davis Cup final, including the deciding rubber against Radek Stepanek of the Czech Republic. He was defeated comfortably in both but was praised by team-mate Novak Djokovic for how he coped with the big occasion. His first appearance in main draw of grand slam was at 2014 Australian Open and he reached 2nd round where he lost to Kei Nishikori. He bettered this at the 2014 French Open by reaching the fourth round where he was beaten in straight sets by world number one & eventual champion Rafael Nadal. The following year, at the French Open he lost to eventual champion Stan Wawrinka in the second round. At the 2016 Argentina Open, Lajovic reached quarterfinals defeating world No. 12 John Isner en route.[4] He reached semifinals of the 2016 Brasil Open after beating top seed and world No. 20 Benoît Paire in the second round, that was his first tour-level semifinal appearance after losing all eight prior quarterfinals matches before in his career.[5]
