Player profile

Maks Kasnikowski turned six saved match points into a breakthrough season

Maks Kasnikowski's 2024 rise began with a match that could have ended six times. The Warsaw-born player saved six match points against Adrian Andreev at the Oeiras Challenger, then completed the week by winning his first Challenger title. He added a home-country title in Poznan, entered the Top 200 and made his Grand Slam main-draw debut later that summer. The ATP biography also reflects how he sees his own tennis: Kasnikowski names the drop shot as his favorite shot and hard court as his preferred surface.

US Open story

Maks Kasnikowski returns to the qualifying route he completed in 2024

Kasnikowski won three qualifying matches at the 2024 US Open, beating Emilio Nava, Stefano Napolitano and Antoine Escoffier to reach his first major main draw. Pedro Martinez then edged him in a four-hour, 21-minute first round, 6-7, 6-1, 6-2, 3-6, 7-6. His 2026 New York campaign starts back at the beginning of that route: Kasnikowski is scheduled to play Norway's Nicolai Budkov Kjaer in the first qualifying round and is 0-0 before that match.

What to watch

The Kasnikowski drop shot gives the Budkov Kjaer match a clear detail to watch

Kasnikowski calls the drop shot his favorite, an unusually specific clue for a first-round qualifier. Rather than reducing his game to a ranking, viewers can note when he changes the depth of a hard-court rally and asks Budkov Kjaer to move forward. New York already provides evidence that Kasnikowski can survive long pressure: his 2024 main-draw debut against Martinez lasted five sets and ended in a deciding tiebreak. The 2026 meeting is scheduled, so the interest lies in that shot selection and their actual scoreboard, not a forecast.
