Laslo Djere: three clay titles and a career defined by resolve
Laslo Djere entered the top 30 after winning the 2019 Rio de Janeiro title without losing a set, then dedicated the trophy to his parents, who both died from cancer. The Serbian added titles in Sardinia in 2020 and Santiago in 2025, all on outdoor clay, and reached a career-high No. 27. His hard-court résumé contains striking exceptions to that clay identity: a 2022 Winston-Salem final built on five consecutive tiebreak wins and a victory over world No. 3 Casper Ruud in Auckland. Djere speaks Serbian, Hungarian and English and names the forehand as his favorite shot.
