Establishment in the top 150 (2010–2012)

Andreas Haider-Maurer (2010)

The year 2010 started with some early losses for the Austrian before he won the last of his nine futures in March. Then he survived the qualification for the Allianz Suisse Open in Gstaad and defeated Denis Istomin in the first round before losing 6: 3, 1: 6, 0: 6 against the Spaniard Albert Montañés in the next round . At the Challenger in Kitzbühel he was in the semifinals. A little later, the Austrian survived all three qualifying rounds of the US Open and was thus in the main competition of a Grand Slam tournament for the first time in his career . There he first caught up a two-set deficit against Robin Söderling , but then missed the sensation and lost 5: 7, 3: 6, 7: 6 (7: 2), 7: 5, 4: 6. In September Haider-Maurer made his debut in the playoff for the world group in the Austrian Davis Cup team and was defeated in the first game by Israeli Dudi Sela . The Austrian team finally won 3-2 without any further use by Haider-Maurer. After moving into the main draw of the BA Trophy in Vienna as a lucky loser , he defeated Thomas Muster , Andreas Seppi , Marin Čilić and Michael Berrer and thus reached the final of an ATP tournament for the first time. In the final he lost to Jürgen Melzer after winning the first set 7: 6 and serving the match in the second set with a score of 5: 4, in three sets with 7: 6 (12:10), 6: 7 (4: 7) and 4: 6.

Haider-Maurer lost his first match of the year with an opening defeat in Chennai . At the Australian Open he failed in the second qualifying round. In March he achieved his first triumph in a tournament in the Challenger category with a win in Caltanissetta . At the French Open , Haider-Maurer, meanwhile a top 100 player, was for the first time directly qualified for the main competition of a major tournament. He achieved his first victory in the first round of his second major main round match. Then he failed at the Ukrainian Oleksandr Dolhopolow . In Wimbledon , the third Grand Slam tournament of the season, he also reached the second round, and then improved to 75th place in the ranking. By the end of the year he lost early in many ATP tournaments, so that in the end he fell out of the top 100 again in 128th place.

In 2012 Haider-Maurer celebrated his first success with the Austrian Davis Cup team when the team beat Russia 3-2 . Haider-Maurer himself contributed one of the points by winning a single game against Alex Bogomolov junior . In the lost quarter-finals against Spain he was defeated by David Ferrer in three straight sets. By July he reached two individual finals in challenger tournaments, but he lost both. In early September he won the Challenger tournament in Como against the Portuguese João Sousa , a week later the tournament in Brașov against Adrian Ungur before reaching a final in Banja Luka for the fifth time, which he lost to Victor Hănescu . At the Grand Slam level, he was only in the main draw at Wimbledon this year and remained without a win.

Entry into the top 100, reaching career high and injury (2013–2015)

In 2013 Haider-Maurer did not make it through the qualification to the main draw at any tournament until March, including the Australian Open. At the French Open he was able to participate as a lucky loser and lost in the first main round against Nicolás Almagro ; at Wimbledon he was defeated by Go Soeda at the start. The rest of the year he played again mainly at Challengers because of his poor ranking. Here he managed to win the tournament in Timișoara , Poznan and Brașov and ended the year in 114th place. At the US Open , he managed the only victory in a Grand Slam that year against Ernests Gulbis in five sets.

The year 2014 began similarly to the previous year. At the French Open , he managed superior qualification and defeated Daniel Brands in the first round before he was beaten by Ivo Karlović . He also won a match at Wimbledon against Kyle Edmund , which he failed to do against Roberto Bautista Agut at the US Open in August . He again won the challenger tournament in Brașov and another title in Trnava . In general, most of his world ranking points for the season came from Challengers, where he achieved many good results. The season balance was 53 wins and 29 losses. For the first time, he finished the season in 82nd place in the top 100.

The Lower Austrian signed Daniel Huber as a new coach in 2015. In February he reached the semi-finals at the Rio Open , where he was defeated by David Ferrer. Haider-Maurer reached his career high shortly after with 47th place. At the Masters tournament in Monaco he made it to the round of 16, his best result in a tournament in this category. In addition to reaching two more quarter-finals, he also won the Challenger tournament in Meerbusch . In autumn Haider-Maurer had to take a long break from injury after the ATP tournament in Vienna due to a heel infection. In mid-June 2016 he underwent an operation on his foot after no improvement, so that he missed the entire 2016 season.

Comeback and end of career (2016-2019)

On June 20, 2017, Andreas Haider-Maurer played after a 19 month injury break in the main Challenger competition in Todi , where he defeated Lorenzo Sonego , number 361 in the world. In July Haider Maurer played at Wimbledon thanks to a protected ranking directly in the main competition. There he had to admit defeat to seeded Spaniard Roberto Bautista Agut in three sets in the first round . Also in Hamburg and at the US Open , he lost with his Protected Ranking in the opening round. In August Haider-Maurer reached his first final after the injury break at the Challenger tournament in Meerbusch . He lost this against Ricardo Ojeda Lara 4: 6 and 3: 6. In the world rankings he had dropped to 445th place.

In 2018 Haider-Maurer won only a few matches. In all nine main fields of the World Tour he lost in the first round and even with Challengers he mostly did not even qualify for the main field. On January 18, 2019, Haider Maurer ended his active career due to ongoing health problems.
