Career

[edit]

2024: Maiden Challenger title, top 200 debut

[edit]

In 2024, following two ATP Challenger finals and his maiden Challenger title in Cordenons, Italy, where he was the youngest of three Lithuanian champions in Challenger history (since 1978), he reached a new career-high ranking of No. 186 on 12 August 2024.[4][5]

2025: Top 150, ATP and Masters debut & historic third round

[edit]

Following his second Challenger title at the newly established 2025 Open Menorca, he reached the top 150 at world No. 149 on 7 April 2025.[6][7][8]

Ranked No. 154, Gaubas made his ATP and Masters 1000 main draw debut in Rome at the 2025 Italian Open after qualifying for the main draw[9][10] and defeated Damir Dzumhur, recording his first Masters and also top 100 win.[11][12] Next he upset 27th seed Denis Shapovalov in straight sets, his first top 50 and top 30 win, to reach the third round of an ATP tournament for the first time in his career.[13] He became the first Lithuanian male player to reach that stage at a Masters 1000.[14][15]
