The German tennis talent Tom Gentzsch won its fourth tournament victory on the ITF tour at the M15 tournament in the M15 tournament in Bastad in Swedish in Swedish without losing any set of sets and with a total of consistently strong performance.

The number one in the seed list fulfilled Tom Gentzsch of his favorite role in Bastad. The 21-year-old prevailed 6: 4 and 6: 4 in the final of the small M15 event against the American Karl Polling. It was Gentzsch’s first title in 2025 and the fourth of his career.

Gentzsch showed good tennis in Sweden on the red ashes, did not lose his serve once in the final, only saw himself confronted with two break balls and finally closed the sack with his third match ball.

“To make yourself happy again is the best comeback,” wrote Gentzsch on Instagram, with thanks to his parents.

The DTB professional can be happy after his triumph, but the question arises: Can the German master the next step?

Success (so far) only at the lowest level

Because as successful Gentzsch at M15 tournaments is regular, apart from the lowest tournament category, success is usually long for you.

In the main field of M25 events, the number 466 of the world rankings recently failed both in Kursumlijska Banja, in Angers and three times in series in Antalya in the first round. Gentzsch celebrated his only win in a tournament above the M15 category in 2025 in Nussloch, where he defeated the Irish Michael Agwi and DTB-Youngster Aaron Funk and only failed in the quarter-finals at the Ukrainian Oleg Pridkho.

The last major success is reaching the semi -finals in Satu Mare (Romania/M25) in September 2024.

In order to tackle a jump to the front places in the world rankings, Gentzsch would probably have to bag victories even at even larger tournaments.
