Professional career

2023-2024: Turned Pro, maiden challenger title, top 150 debut

In 11 months since beginning his full-time professional career in February 2023, Boyer went from top 1500 in the ATP rankings to the top 200. He won one ATP Challenger title, had two ATP Challenger finalist appearances, two semifinalist appearances, and two quarterfinalist appearances. [4] Ranked No. 230 and seeded third, Boyer won his maiden ATP Challenger singles title at the inaugural 2024 Yucatán Open and reached the top 200 at world No. 193 on 1 April 2024, moving close to 40 positions up in the ATP rankings. [5] [6] [7] [8] Since his maiden ATP Challenger Tour title in March 2024, Boyer had five ATP Challenger quarterfinalist appearances, one semifinal and one singles final. [4] [ citation needed ]

In August, after receiving a US Open doubles wildcard, Boyer teamed with partner, Emilio Nava, who also played juniors in Southern California, to reach the third round, defeating the ninth seeded team Gonzalez/Roger-Vasselin along the way. [9] [10]

He won his second singles Challenger title at the 2024 Campeonato Internacional de Tênis de Campinas in Brazil and reached a new career-high of No. 159 on 21 October 2024. [11] On November 17 Boyer won his third Challenger singles title in Montevideo, Uruguay, defeating Hugo Dellien in straight sets. Boyer did not drop a set the entire tournament, and with the win tied the 20-year-old record for the most wins by an American on the ATP Challenger Tour in a single year at 44 wins (since Kevin Kim in 2004), and the record for the most clay-court ATP Challenger titles held by Francis Tiafoe.
