Marc Polmans sets eyes on the ATP Tour in 2019 after a breakthrough season
The Melbourne resident has made big progress through the ranking list in 2018 and he has been given the opportunity to prove himself on the biggest tennis stage and seek his first ATP win at the of 21 at Melbourne Park next week, facing Denis Kudla in the opening round.
.
The Melbourne resident will try to reach the top-100 as soon as possible and establish himself on the ATP Tour, also reducing the number of Challengers in his calendar if he continues to climb through the rankings. It was a great year..
to work my way into the top 150 is a good achievement for me for the end of the year, . I had a great start to the year I picked up my first Challenger and that carried over to a few more Futures titles.
Definitely had a great start to the year in terms of ranking points achieved, which allowed me to enter all the Grand Slams. It was a bit different for me because I havent played much at the Grand Slam level. So, to play qualifying of all of the Slams last year was a big confidence booster because I gained a lot of experience from playing.
Now a big Aussie Open is coming up soon Im looking forward to that. It was great to learn from playing the Slams this year. I find it a bit nervy because youre playing at a Grand Slam; its something that you dream of as a kid.
Every moment out there was awesome so hopefully this year I can have better results in the Slams. My ranking allows me to play more ATP 250 tournaments.. now I can start working my way closer to the top 100 if I do better at those smaller ATP events.
Thats gonna be my goal for next year, to play as many ATP 250 tournament as I can. Ill try to reduce the number of Challengers and focus on the main Tour.
