His first win at this level he celebrated a year later in the same place , when he again won as Lucky Loser against Tennys Sandgren in straight sets, but then eliminated in the round of 16.

In June 2019 he celebrated his greatest success so far when he won the Ilkley Challenger tournament in the final against Dennis Novak in three sets. This victory also gave him a wildcard for the Grand Slam tournament in Wimbledon , his first appearance at this level. There he was able to defeat Filip Krajinović in the first round , but then failed in the second round to Diego Schwartzman .

At the US Open 2019 Koepfer was able to play his way into the main field via qualification and surprisingly reached the round of 16 after victories against Jaume Munar , Reilly Opelka and Nikolos Bassilaschwili , which he lost to the eventual finalist Daniil Medvedev after four sets.
