On his ATP debut, ranked at a then career-high of World No. 249 in singles, at the 2021 Swiss Open Gstaad, Kopřiva defeated Denis Shapovalov for his career-best and first top-10 win.[2] He was the lowest-ranked player to beat a Top 10 opponent since then World No. 698 Thanasi Kokkinakis defeated then World No. 6 Milos Raonic at The Queen’s Club in 2017. Kopřiva advanced to the semifinals after beating Mikael Ymer in straight sets. He was the second player to reach the semifinals on his ATP Tour debut since May 2012, joining 2021 Cordoba champion, Juan Manuel Cerundolo.[3] His run would come to an end in the semifinals against Casper Ruud.
