Filip Peliwo, born on January 30, 1994, is a professional tennis player who proudly represents Poland, having begun his competitive journey for the nation in 2022. Originally hailing from Canada, Peliwo made history by becoming the first Canadian male and only the second Canadian ever to secure a major singles title at any level, achieving this remarkable feat with his victory at the 2012 Wimbledon boys' tournament.

This triumph not only marked a significant milestone for Peliwo but also for Canadian tennis, as it came just one day after Eugenie Bouchard's Grand Slam win, making it a historic moment for the country. Following his Wimbledon success, he ascended to the No. 1 position in the combined junior world rankings in July 2012, a first for any Canadian player.

Peliwo continued to showcase his talent on the junior circuit, clinching his second consecutive major title at the 2012 US Open. His impressive performances also saw him reach the finals of the boys' singles events at both the 2012 Australian Open and the French Open, solidifying his status as one of the top junior players of his time.

With a career-high ATP singles ranking of world No. 161 achieved on May 21, 2018, Peliwo has demonstrated resilience and dedication throughout his professional career, continuing to strive for excellence on the court.
