Sam Barry (born January 27, 1992 in Limerick ) is an Irish tennis player .

Career

From 2007 to 2010 Barry played on the ITF Junior Tour and achieved his best placement there with No. 60.

From 2010 he also took part in the professional tour and mainly played on the ITF Future Tour . In doubles, he won his first of 22 doubles titles and 28 titles in total in the same year. In 2011 in Loughborough he moved into a double for the first time in a final on the ATP Challenger Tour , which he lost. A little later he made his debut for the Irish Davis Cup team , for which he has so far a record of 15:11. Only in 2013 did he qualify for a Challenger in singles when he lost in Pétange to Paul-Henri Mathieu in the first round. In the same year he won his first individual title in a future. By 2016 he had at least one further title win there - in 2014 he won three titles.

In 2015 and 2016 he achieved his career best in the tennis world rankings in singles with place 255 and in doubles with place 221 , which is the only time in his career he was able to start mainly in the main field of Challengers. In Bangkok 2016 he moved into his only Challenger individual final, where he was defeated by the Australian James Duckworth in the final after he had previously had to fight his way through the qualification. The year 2017 was less successful for Barry, before the Irishman hardly won any matches in 2018 and was finally listed as inactive since the end of the year.
