Shortly before the end of the year, another title and a finals followed. In 2015 he won his third title and reached several semi-finals, and also made his first appearances on the higher-class ATP Challenger Tour , so that he made it into the top 500 in the world rankings . In 2015, the Cypriot began studying at Wake Forest University , where he played college tennis . In the 2016/2017 season he won the ITA Men's All-American Championships , a major college tennis tournament. He became the fourth best college tennis player that season. Because of his success, the tournament management of the ATP World Tour event in Winston-Salem awarded him a wildcard for the individual competition . There he was defeated by the Serb Dušan Lajović in two sets.

At the beginning of 2018 he is no longer in the world rankings because he can hardly play tournaments due to his studies.
