Full Kristian Pless Biography
Kristian Peter Pless (born February 9, 1981 in Odense, Denmark) is a professional male tennis player from Denmark.
In 1999, he won the Australian Open for juniors (defeated Mikhail Youzhny), and reached the junior finals at Wimbledon (lost to Jürgen Melzer), and the US Open (lost to Jarkko Nieminen). He finished 1999 as the no. 1 ranked junior player in the world.
He turned professional in 1999, and on January 28, 2002, Kristian Pless reached his career-high ATP singles ranking: World No. 65. He has won tournaments at the Futures and Challenger levels, and has reached three semifinals on the ATP Tour. He suffered a serious shoulder injury in 2003, which after multiple surgery kept him out of competition for almost a year.
After returning from injury in 2004, he had dropped in the rankings to World No. 846 on May 24. Subsequently, he has gradually climbed the rankings, and after successful performances at the Challenger level in the fall of 2006, he entered the Top-100 again. In January 2007, he continued his good performances as he defeated World No. 8 David Nalbandian in three sets in the first round of Chennai Open. This was Pless' first win against a Top-10 ranked player. |
