# Adrian Ungur

Adrian Ungur (born 22 January 1985) is a Romanian former tennis player who mainly competed on the ATP Challenger Tour. He was a member of the Romania Davis Cup Team and was coached by Fabrizio Fanucci. In June 2012, Ungur reached his career-high ATP singles ranking of World No. 79. His most notable result was a four set victory over former World No. 3 David Nalbandian in the first round of the 2012 French Open.

## Personal life

## Career

Ungur reached as high as No. 10 in the junior singles world rankings in January 2003.

### 2012: Grand Slam debut and first top-10 win

Following some good results in Challenger events, Adrian entered into the main draw at the 2012 French Open, his first main draw appearance at Grand Slam level. He beat former world No. 3 David Nalbandian in the first round, before being defeated in four sets by Roger Federer in the second round – although he saved two match points in winning the third set.

### 2015: Maiden and Home doubles title

In April at the Romanian Open partnering fellow Romanian Marius Copil, after saving five match points, they defeated Nicholas Monroe/Artem Sitak 17–15 in the match tiebreak to become the first Romanian team to win the Bucharest title since 1998 (Pavel/Trifu).
