One of Australian tennis’ rising stars and Home Hill Tennis Association alumni is competing in Paris after being awarded a main-draw singles wildcard into Roland Garros.
The announcement came before Adam made his top-100 debut in the latest ATP Tour singles rankings after winning an ATP Challenger title in Chinese Taipei, rising 16 places to a career-high world number 95.
The 25-year-old from Home Hill has tallied 32 match wins and contested four ATP Challenger finals so far in 2024, boosting his ranking up more than 70 places since the start of the year.
The in-form young gun has won 14 of his past 18 matches and can’t wait to compete at Roland Garros for the first time.
“This will be my first time at Roland Garros and I’m incredibly thankful for the opportunity to play main draw,” he said.
Adam’s season highlights include scoring two top-100 victories to qualify at an ATP 250 tournament in Adelaide and making his ATP Masters 1000 main-draw debut at Miami as a qualifier.
He was awarded a main-draw singles wildcards alongside former world No.32 and three-time Grand Slam singles quarterfinalist Ajla Tomljanovic and is set to compete alongside fellow Aussies Alex de Minaur, Jordan Thompson, Alexei Popyrin, Chris O’Connell, Aleksandar Vukic, Rinky Hijikata, Max Purcell and Thanasi Kokkinakis.
The Roland Garros 2024 qualifying competition began on May 20, with main-draw action commencing from May 26.
