Damir Džumhur (Bosnian pronunciation: [ˈda:mir ˈd͡ʒumhur], born 20 May 1992) is a Bosnian professional tennis player and the current Bosnian No. 1. He is a member of the Bosnia and Herzegovina Davis Cup team, and he competed at the 2016 Summer Olympics, being selected as the first male tennis player from his country to do so.
He was ranked Junior world No. 3 and he was a bronze medalist at the 2010 Youth Olympic Games. Džumhur is also the first male player to ever represent Bosnia and Herzegovina in the main draw of any Grand Slam tournament. His career-best ranking of 71 makes him the highest ever ranked player competing for Bosnia and Herzegovina.
Džumhur was born on 20 May 1992 in Sarajevo, as a first child to father Nerfid and mother Žaneta. His birth came shortly after the outbreak of the Bosnian War, in a maternity hospital located near the Zetra Olympic Hall. The arena was destroyed at the time, but it was the same place where Damir would start practicing tennis. He also has a five years younger brother, Zlatan.
As a kid Džumhur practiced skiing and football, in addition to tennis. Growing up, he admired Patrick Rafter and Roger Federer the most, and he is also a keen football fan and supports the Bosnian team FK Željezničar. In his childhood he also acted in two movies – Grbavica (2006), as background actor, and Mörderischer Frieden (2007), where he played major role as Durcan.
