Virtanen has a career high ATP singles ranking of No. 109 achieved on 3 April 2023. He also has a career high ATP doubles ranking of No. 264 achieved on 20 February 2023.[1] He is currently the No. 2 Finnish singles tennis player.[2]

Virtanen won the Boys' Doubles title in the Wimbledon Championships in 2018. In December 2018 Virtanen won the singles tournament, the Orange Bowl.

He won his first Challenger title at the 2022 Trofeo Faip–Perrel and reached the top 200 at world No. 195 on 7 November 2022.

Following a second title at the 2023 Challenger Città di Lugano he reached the top 150 at No. 139 on 20 March 2023, and a third title in Lille the top 110 at No. 109 on 3 April 2023.[3][4]

Personal life

Virtanen appeared in two videos on the Finland-based YouTube channel Pongfinity, one titled "Tennis Trick Shots" in July 2019, and another titled "Return a Pro Tennis Serve, Win $1000" in June 2022. Unsurprisingly, no member of the general public was able to return his serve, which resulted in Virtanen winning the $1000 prize.
