The Serb is a key part of Serbia's Davis Cup team, where his performances have been praised by none other than Novak Djokovic himself.
Dusan Lajovic is someone who stands out in the world of tennis for an interesting reason. In a sport all about the individual, his best showings have arguably come as a team player. Lajovic’s pro career, which started in 2007, hasn’t been filled with a number of highlight reels. Like many other players, the Serbian has spent a lot of time grafting in the background.
He had to wait 7 years to make it to a Grand Slam main draw for the first time. And he’s only won three titles in his playing career; 1 singles and 2 doubles. However, he is a key part of Serbia’s Davis Cup team, where his performances have been praised by none other than Novak Djokovic himself.

And given he’s made over USD 7 million in prize money from the sport, it’s fair to say Lajovic hasn’t done too badly either. His first and only singles title came in 2019 at the Croatia Open, an ATP 250 event. And his two doubles titles came in the 2015 Istanbul Open and the 2019 Chengdu Open; both of these are also ATP 250 events.
Lajvovic and Benoit Paire have shared a tight rivalry so far. The two have faced each other five times so far and the Serbian has come out on top in three of those matches.
