Peter Polansky

Biography

Peter Polansky (born June 15, 1988 in North York, Ontario, Canada) is a Canadian professional tennis player. He is of Czech origin. He reached a career-high singles ranking of No. 110 on June 25, 2018 and a career-high doubles ranking of No. 135 on February 3, 2014. In 2016, he advanced to the final of the junior US Open, becoming, at that time, only the second Canadian in history to reach a Grand Slam final in singles (after Philip Bester who reached the final of the junior French Open earlier that year). In 2010, he reached the second round of the US Open with a victory over the 30th seed Juan Mónaco in straight sets. He lost to James Blake in his next match. Polansky made it to the second round of the ATP Masters 1000 in Canada on five occasions, in 2009, 2010, 2014, 2016 and 2017. In 2013, he won his first ATP Challenger singles title at the event in Tiburon. In 2016 in Gatineau, Polansky captured his second Challenger singles title. In 2018, he reached the second round of the Masters 1000 in Indian Wells but was defeated by the 20th seed Adrian Mannarino.
