Luca Nardi

Luca Nardi (born 6 August 2003) is an Italian professional tennis player. He has a career-high ATP singles ranking of world No. 67 achieved on 3 March 2025. He also has a career-high ATP doubles ranking of world No. 299, attained on 10 April 2023.

Nardi's biggest breakthrough came in 2024, when he defeated World No.1 Novak Djokovic in the third round in Indian Wells, becoming the lowest-ranked player ever to defeat Djokovic at a Masters or a Grand Slam.

Son of Raffaella and Neapolitan notary Dario, he began playing tennis at seven at the Tennis Club Baratoff in Pesaro, encouraged by his parents and especially his older brother, Niccolò, who later left sports for design studies. He attended a scientific high school in Pesaro for two years before moving in September 2019 to the Federal Technical Center in Tirrenia, where he was coached by Claudio Galoppini, balancing sports with studies. He enjoys soccer and padel, supports Napoli thanks to his father, and idolizes tennis players Roger Federer and Novak Djokovic.

Nardi made his ATP main draw debut at the 2020 European Open in singles, where he lost to Marcos Giron in three sets, and in doubles partnering Zane Khan.

He reached career-high rankings of World No. 356 in singles and No. 544 in doubles on 13 December 2021 after reaching the semifinals in singles and quarterfinals in doubles respectively as a wildcard at the 2021 Città di Forlì III Challenger.

In the first week of the 2022 ATP Challenger Tour, Nardi won his first Challenger title at the 2022 Città di Forlì Challenger, defeating Mukund Sasikumar in the final. As a result, he reached the top 300 on 17 January 2022 at world No. 296.

He won his second Challenger title at the 2022 Challenger Città di Lugano, defeating Leandro Riedi in the final. He made his Masters debut at the 2022 Rome Masters as a wildcard.

He won his third Challenger title at the 2022 Rafa Nadal Open in Mallorca, beating Zizou Bergs in the final. This was his first Challenger win on an outdoor hard court. He made his debut in the top 150 at world No. 142 on 12 September 2022.
