SPORTFIVE Expands Tennis Portfolio with the Signing of Mika Petkovic

Hamburg, 13 May 2026 – SPORTFIVE has announced the signing of Mika Petkovic to its boutique athlete representation platform, projectFIVE, further strengthening the agency’s growing tennis portfolio.

Petkovic is regarded as one of Germany’s most promising emerging players and is based in Hamburg. The 19‑year‑old is currently ranked No. 605 on the ATP Tour (April 2026) and has continued his upward momentum on the professional circuit. Most recently, he captured the ITF M15 title in Oegstgeest, Netherlands, marking the second professional singles title of his young career. The victory earned him valuable ATP ranking points and is expected to propel him inside the Top 540 of the ATP rankings, underlining his progress at ITF Men’s World Tennis Tour level.

This professional success builds on a highly accomplished junior career. Petkovic reached a Top 50 ITF Junior ranking, won the German U18 National Championship, and collected multiple ITF Junior singles and doubles titles across Europe, providing a strong foundation for his transition into the professional ranks.

With his schooling concluding in May, Petkovic now enters a decisive phase as he shifts his full focus to full‑time professional tennis, targeting continued progression across ITF and ATP‑level competition.

“Mika is a player we see as having a very strong foundation as he moves into the next phase of his career,” said Charly Steeb - projectFIVE. “He has already demonstrated the ability to win at international level, and with his full focus now turning to the professional tour, we believe he has the qualities required to continue progressing.”

Through projectFIVE, Petkovic will receive tailored career management support, including sponsorship strategy, marketing development, and long‑term brand building, backed by SPORTFIVE’s global expertise and international network.
