Matthias Bachinger (born 2 April 1987) is a professional tennis player from Germany who turned professional in 2005. His career-high singles ranking is world No. 85, achieved in August 2011.
Professional career
In 2007 , Bachinger qualified for his first ATP tournament, the 2007 BMW Open . Bachinger won in the first round against Andreas Beck 6-2, 7-6, 7-5 before losing to Marcos Baghdatis in the second round 6-7, 2-6, 4-6.
In 2008 , Bachinger entered the ABN AMRO World Tennis Tournament , the BMW Open , the Austrian Open and the If Stockholm Open , losing in the first round in each event.
He then played only Challenger level tournaments before qualifying for the 2010 If Stockholm Open , where he reached the second round.
Bachinger reached his first ATP semifinal at the 2012 BRD N?stase ?iriac Trophy . He also reached the quarterfinals of Umag the same year, defeating seventh-seeded Martin Kli?an en route.
In 2013 , Bachinger defeated World No. 18 Andreas Seppi , for his first top 20 win.
In 2014 , he recorded his first Major win as a qualifier at the 2014 US Open (tennis) defeating Radek ?t?pánek . He also reached the semifinals in Stockholm as a qualifier.
In 2018 , he reached his first ATP Tour final in Metz , again as a qualifier, after defeating Kei Nishikori in the semifinals,[1] before losing to Gilles Simon .
Playing style
Bachinger has an unusual take-back and swing on his forehand and backhand. He has solid groundstrokes, with both sides capable of producing winners. He has a good serve that can reach up to 127 mph (204 km/h). He is very strong at the net and frequently rushes to the net. He frequently serve-and-volleys and uses the chip-and-charge tactic on returns.
