Tennis career edit

2011-2013: ATP debut and first win, Maiden ATP title edit

Bagnis played in his first ATP World Tour match at the 2011 Movistar Open on January 31, 2011, losing to Santiago Giraldo in three sets,.[3] He won his first tour-level match at 2012 Copa Claro, beating Leonardo Mayer.

2014-2016: Major debut and first win, Top 55 debut & career best year-end ranking edit

Bagnis secured his biggest victory and first win at the Grand Slam level on his debut when he defeated Julien Benneteau in the first round of the 2014 French Open, winning the deciding set 18–16.

He finished the 2016 season at a career-best year-end high of No. 56.

2021: First ATP singles final, US Open third round edit

In 2021, Bagnis recorded his first ATP semifinal at the Córdoba Open, where he lost to fifth seed Albert Ramos Viñolas in three sets. Two weeks later, at the Chile Open, he would go even further by recording his first ATP final, where he lost to top seed Cristian Garín.

Bagnis qualified to represent Argentina at the 2020 Summer Olympics.

At the 2021 US Open, he reached the third round of a Major for the first time in his career, defeating Taro Daniel and qualifier and fellow Argentine Marco Trungelliti.

He finished the year at a second-best year-end high of No. 76 inside the top 100.

2022: Second consecutive top 100 year-end ranking edit

On 21 November 2022 following a Challenger title in Ambato, Ecuador, and a Challenger final in São Leopoldo, Brazil, he returned in the top 100 at a third best year-end high of No. 93.

2024: 40th career win, Second ATP final, back to top 150 edit

Ranked No. 207, as a qualifier at the 2024 Córdoba Open[4] he recorded his 40th career main draw win, defeating wildcard Juan Manuel Cerúndolo. Next, he defeated eight seed Roberto Carballes Baena to reach the quarterfinals in straight sets. He reached his third career ATP semifinal defeating Jaume Munar also in straight sets.[5] At 33 years old, he became the oldest Argentine ATP Tour semifinalist since Carlos Berlocq, 34, in 2017 Buenos Aires. [6] He reached his second career final defeating previous year runner-up Federico Coria.[7] He was the oldest player from South America to make an ATP event final in the Open Era surpassing Guillermo Vilas in 1986 Forest Hills.[8] As a result he climbed close to 70 positions up to return to the top 150. In just the third all-qualifier final since the inception of the ATP Tour in 1990, he lost to Luciano Darderi in straight sets.[9] He again lost to Luciano Darderi at the 2024 Chile Open where he entered the main draw as a lucky loser.
