Career[edit]

Holmgren played five years of college tennis for the San Diego Toreros from 2017 to 2022, receiving numerous West Coast Conference (WCC) honors. He was the nation's top-ranked player after winning the Intercollegiate Tennis Association (ITA) National Fall Championships in late 2021, and he finished his college career as the 2022 NCAA Singles Championship runner-up to Ben Shelton.[2]

Holmgren made his ATP debut at the 2021 San Diego Open after receiving a lucky loser spot into the main draw after third seed Félix Auger-Aliassime withdrew. There, he lost to former world No. 3 Grigor Dimitrov in straight sets.[3][4][5]
