Champion of the ATP 500 in Washington and semi-finalist in the ATP Masters 1000 in Canada, where he lost Taylor Fritz and Alexander Zverev before falling against Alexei Popyrinthen champion.
Sixteenth seed in the US Open draw, where according to the world order he formed a hypothetical round of 16 duel with the Spaniard Carlos Alcaraz.
