A doubles specialist, he reached his highest ATP doubles ranking of No. 12 on 12 June 2023 and singles ranking of No. 327 on 29 July 2019. He became the first ever Monegasque player to reach the semifinal and final of a Major at the 2023 Australian Open.

Career

[edit]

2019: Maiden ATP title

[edit]

At the 2019 Los Cabos Open, Nys won his maiden doubles title with partner Romain Arneodo.[2][3]

2021: French Open quarterfinal, two doubles titles, top 50

[edit]

Nys won his second doubles title at the Estoril Open, with partner Tim Pütz.[4]

Later in May, Nys won his next doubles title at the Lyon Open, again with Pütz.[5] As a result, he reached a career-high of No. 53 in doubles on 24 May 2021.

The Nys/Pütz duo reached the quarterfinals of the 2021 French Open, where they were defeated by eventual runner-ups Kazakh duo Bublik/Golubev.

2022: US Open quarterfinal, fourth ATP title

[edit]

At the US Open, he reached the quarterfinals of a Grand Slam for the second time in his career with partner Jan Zieliński, defeating 10th seeded pair Jamie Murray/Bruno Soares and Ariel Behar/Gonzalo Escobar. The pair won their first title at the 2022 Moselle Open.[6]

2023: Historic Major final and Masters title, top 15 debut

[edit]

With Zieliński, Nys reached his first Grand Slam final at the Australian Open, defeating second seeds Rajeev Ram and Joe Salisbury on the way.[7] He became the first Monegasque player to reach a Grand Slam final.[8] They were defeated by wildcard Australian pair of Jason Kubler and Rinky Hijikata in the championship match.[9] He reached the top 20 on 13 February 2023.

Following their maiden Masters 1000 title in Rome, Nys reached a new career high ranking of No. 14 on 22 May 2023. He became the first Monégasque player to win an ATP Masters 1000 title.[10]

At the 2023 Moselle Open in Metz the Monégasque/Polish pair defended their crown but came short of qualifying for the year-end 2023 ATP Finals, finishing ninth in the ATP race.[11]

2024: First ATP 500 title

[edit]

At the 2024 Australian Open he reached the quarterfinals with Zielenski but they lost to the unseeded pair Dominik Koepfer and Yannick Hanfmann and could not defend their runner-up points from the previous year.

At the 2024 Abierto Mexicano Telcel in Acapulco he won his first ATP 500 title with Zielenski defeating top pair of Santiago Gonzalez and Neal Skupski.[12]

2025: New partnership, Marrakech final

Nys and new partner Edouard Roger-Vasselin reached the final at the 2025 Grand Prix Hassan II. At the next tournament, the 2025 Monte-Carlo Masters they defeated Jamie Murray and Rajeev Ram to advance to the round of 16.[13] They lost to fourth seeds Kevin Krawietz and Tim Puetz in a close match tiebreak.[14]
