With a successful performance at the Australian Open, Džumhur will progress by around 40 places on the ATP list and be ranked at around 145th place, which he said was his goal for this year before he left for Australia.
‘’Thanks to the success in Australia, I will progress in the rankings, which will be around 144th place. A progress by 40 or more at this moment is a huge success, and the difference to 130th place is very small. I can definitely say that 2014 will be the year where everyone can expect my entry in the top 100, because I can already think about this. Before leaving for Australia, my goal was set to be in the top 150 by the end of the season’’, said Džumhur to journalists at Sarajevo airport, upon his return from Melbourne where he made it to the third round of the Australian Open.
In Australia, Džumhur played six matches and had five wins, three in the qualifications and two in the main tournament. In the third round, he lost to Tomaš Berdych from the Czech Republic.
