Filip Peliwo (/ˈfɪlɪp ˈpɛlɪv/ FIL-ip PEL-iv-oh,[1][2] Polish: [ˈfilip pɛˈlivɔ]; born January 30, 1994) is a Canadian-born Polish professional tennis player. He reached a career-high ATP singles ranking of No. 161 on May 21, 2018. In 2022, he began competing for Poland. [3] Peliwo became the first Canadian male and second Canadian ever to win a Grand Slam in singles at any level with his 2012 Wimbledon boys' title win.[4] This was Canada's second Grand Slam title in two days, one day after Eugenie Bouchard's.[5] With the victory, Peliwo reached the No. 1 combined junior world ranking in July 2012, the first time a Canadian has been top ranked.[5] He won his second straight junior Grand Slam title at the 2012 US Open. Peliwo was also runner-up in the boys singles events at the 2012 Australian Open and French Open.
