Nikola Čačić (Serbian Cyrillic: Никола Чачић, pronounced [nǐkola tʃâtʃitɕ]; born 7 December 1990) is a Serbian professional tennis player.^[1]

Tennis career

Čačić competes both in singles and doubles events, mainly on ITF Men's Circuit and ATP Challenger Tour level. Overall he has won five singles and 32 doubles titles in ITF Futures tournaments.

Having played alongside his compatriots, including Marko Djokovic, Ilija Bozoljac and Dušan Lajović, he has also taken part in three ATP World Tour main doubles tournaments held in Belgrade (in 2010 and 2012) and Umag (in 2012), where he lost in the opening rounds.

In the summer of 2014, after a series of successful appearances in Challenger tournaments played on clay surface, and thanks to his first victory in three years in Futures event, Čačić moved into the Top 300 and achieved his career-best singles ranking of 281 in the ATP list.

Čačić did not participate in any tournament during the 2015 season due to injury, which caused a drop from both world singles and doubles rankings.

He recorded his first win on ATP World Tour level in the first round of 2016 Croatia Open Umag, where he defeated Aljaž Bedene in three sets, ranked 69th at the time.
