The highlights so far have been taking part in the ATP tournaments in the Wiener Stadthalle in October 2006 and in Kitzbühel in 2007, for each of which he won a game Card received from the organizer.
In 2007 he secured three future titles in Austria, Russia and England. Then Fischer tried to establish himself on the Challenger Tour and recorded initial success there. He made it to the last eight in Almaty for the first time and was also able to qualify for the quarter-finals in Barnstaple and Helsinki. Until November 2007, his best placement in the ATP world rankings was 257th.
