2021: ATP debut
Holmgren made his ATP debut at the 2021 San Diego Open after receiving a lucky loser spot into the main draw after third seed Félix Auger-Aliassime withdrew. There, he lost to former world No. 3 Grigor Dimitrov in straight sets.[3][4][5]
2024: Maiden Challenger title, top 175
In July 2024, Holmgren won his maiden Challenger title in Pozablanco, Spain, defeating top seed Antoine Escoffier in the final. Holmgren was the first Danish Challenger titlist since Holger Rune in 2022.[6] Two weeks later, on 5 August 2024, he reached the top 175 in the singles rankings at world No. 167 following another Challenger title at the 2024 Porto Open.[7][8]
2025: Major debut and third round, top 150 and Masters debuts
In July, Holmgren made his major debut at Wimbledon, reaching the main draw as a qualifier,[9][10][11] In the main draw, Holmgren recorded his first major win by defeating Quentin Halys in the first round.[12][13] With his second round win over 21st seed Tomáš Macháč, in five sets with a deciding fifth-set tiebreak, after nearly five hours of play, Holmgren was only the second Danish man in the Open Era to reach the third round on his major main draw debut.[14][15] As a result he moved into the top 150 in the ATP rankings.[16][17][18] Holmgren earned a new nickname: “the King of Wimbledon Comebacks”.[19][20] He lost in the third round to Alex de Minaur.
In July, Holmgren won his third Challenger title in Granby by defeating top seed Eliot Spizzirri in the semifinal and third seed Liam Draxl in the final.[21][22]
