Dino Prizmic Bio
Dino Prižmić (born 5 August 2005) is a Croatian professional tennis player who has emerged as one of the most promising young talents in the sport. He achieved a career-high ATP singles ranking of world No. 115 on 22 September 2025 and currently ranks as the No. 3 singles player from Croatia. Standing 188 cm tall, Prižmić combines a powerful frame with the kind of competitive poise typically associated with more experienced players on the ATP Tour.
Prižmić first drew international attention when he won the boys’ singles title at the 2023 French Open, defeating Juan Carlos Prado Ángelo in the final. Since then he has progressed steadily through the ITF, ATP Challenger, and ATP Tour levels, collecting titles and milestone victories along the way.
Early Life and Background
Dino Prižmić was born on 5 August 2005 in Split, Croatia, a coastal city with a strong sporting tradition. Growing up in Split gave him access to a vibrant tennis culture and a network of coaches familiar with the demands of high-level competition.
From an early age, Prižmić showed an interest in tennis and began developing his game in local clubs and academies. His height, which would later reach 188 cm, gave him natural advantages in serve power and court coverage, traits that coaches worked to refine alongside his footwork and tactical awareness.
Path to Tennis
Prižmić’s competitive career began on the junior circuit, where he reached two finals at the European Junior Championships. His first appearance came in 2019 in the under-14 event, and he returned in 2022 for the under-18 final, although he lost both matches.
On the ITF Junior Circuit, Prižmić climbed to a career-high junior ranking of No. 8 on 2 January 2023. His breakthrough arrived at the 2023 French Open, where he won the boys’ singles title by defeating Juan Carlos Prado Ángelo in the final. That Grand Slam victory signaled his readiness to compete at the professional level.

Early Career (2022)
Prižmić made his first appearance in a professional final in April 2022 at an ITF clay-court tournament in Dubrovnik, Croatia, where he lost to Gergely Madarász in straight sets. Later that summer, he received a wildcard into the singles draw of the 2022 Croatia Open Umag, marking his ATP Tour debut. He faced Bernabé Zapata Miralles in the first round but was forced to retire from the match.
2023: First ATP Win & Challenger Title, Davis Cup, Top 155 Debuts
In March 2023, Prižmić captured his fifth ITF title in Poreč, Croatia, a result that lifted him to No. 381 in the world and made him the top-ranked under-18 player. He followed that with a qualifying run at the Banja Luka Open in April, where he lost to Richard Gasquet in the first round.
A few months later, Prižmić received a wildcard into the Croatia Open and defeated Duje Ajduković in the first round to record his first ATP Tour victory. He then beat Zsombor Piros to reach his maiden ATP quarterfinal before falling to eventual champion Alexei Popyrin. In August, Prižmić won his maiden ATP Challenger title at the Banja Luka Challenger and was subsequently named to the Croatia Davis Cup team alongside Borna Ćorić, Borna Gojo, Ivan Dodig, and Mate Pavić.
He closed the season by qualifying for the Stockholm Open, where he defeated sixth seed and world No. 30 Jiří Lehečka in the first round for his first win over a Top 50 player. These results pushed him to a career-high ranking of No. 155 on 23 October 2023.
2024-2025: Grand Slam and Top 125 Debuts
At the 2024 Australian Open, Prižmić defeated Mariano Navone, Duje Ajduković, and Aziz Dougaz to qualify for his first Grand Slam main draw. He faced defending champion and world No. 1 Novak Djokovic in the opening round and pushed the match to four sets over four hours, winning 16 games and saving six match points. That contest became the longest first-round match of Djokovic’s Grand Slam career.
Later in 2024, Prižmić received a special main draw entry at the BMW Open in Munich under the NextGen programme for players under 20 ranked in the top 250, although he later withdrew. In 2025, he captured back-to-back Challenger titles at the Zagreb Open and the Bratislava Open, returning to the top 175 on 16 June 2025 while moving up 77 spots in the rankings. He became only the second Croatian, after Mario Ančić, to win three Challenger titles as a teenager.
Ranked at a career-high No. 124, Prižmić qualified for the main draw of a major for the second time at the 2025 US Open. He also competed at the 2025 Chengdu Open as a NextGen special entry, where he defeated Térence Atmane. By 22 September 2025, his consistent results lifted him to a career-high No. 115 in the ATP rankings.
Driving Style and Strengths
Although tennis lacks a steering wheel, Prižmić’s game is built on a powerful serve and aggressive baseline play, both of which benefit from his 188 cm frame. His ability to absorb pace and redirect the ball has allowed him to challenge established tour players, and his tactical maturity has been evident in matches such as his four-hour battle with Novak Djokovic at the 2024 Australian Open.
Notable Events and Milestones
Among Prižmić’s signature moments are his 2023 French Open boys’ singles title, his first ATP win at the 2023 Croatia Open, his maiden Challenger title in Banja Luka, and his first Top 50 victory over Jiří Lehečka at the 2023 Stockholm Open. His 2024 Australian Open duel with Djokovic stands out as a defining display of competitiveness against the world’s best.
