'''Kristian Peter Pless''' (born 9 February 1981) is a former professional male [[tennis]] player from Denmark.

==Tennis career==
===Juniors===
Pless had an excellent junior career, winning the [[1999 Australian Open]] Boys' Singles (defeated [[Mikhail Youzhny]]), and reaching the Boys' final at both [[Wimbledon Championships|Wimbledon]] (lost to [[Jürgen Melzer]]), and the [[US Open (tennis)|US Open]] (lost to [[Jarkko Nieminen]]) the same year. He finished 1999 as the No. 1 ranked junior player in the world.<ref>{{Cite web|title=Kristian Pless – Junior|url=https://www.itftennis.com/en/players/kristian-pless/800199508/den/jt/s/overview/|access-date=2020-10-24|website=www.itftennis.com}}</ref>

===Pro tour===
He turned professional in 1999, and on 28 January 2002, Kristian Pless reached his career-high [[Association of Tennis Professionals|ATP]] singles ranking of World No. 65. He has won tournaments at the [[Futures (tennis)|Futures]] and [[ATP Challenger Tour|Challenger]] levels, and has reached three semifinals on the [[ATP Tour]]. He suffered a serious shoulder injury in 2003, which after multiple surgery kept him out of competition for almost a year.

After returning from injury in 2004, he had dropped in the rankings to World No. 846 on 24 May. Subsequently, he has gradually climbed the rankings, and after successful performances at the Challenger level in autumn 2006, he entered the Top 100 again. In January 2007, he continued his good performances as he defeated World No. 8 [[David Nalbandian]] in three sets in the first round of [[Chennai Open]]. This was Pless' first win against a Top-10 ranked player.

In 2007 he also managed to take a set from tennis legend [[Roger Federer]] at their meeting in Dubai, but eventually Federer won the tie 7–6<sup>(2)</sup>, 3–6, 6–3. It was first set Federer had lost that year after he had won the Australian Open without losing a single set.

In 2008 he reached two Challenger finals (in Izmir, Turkey  and Rimouski, Canada), but ended the year outside of Top 100. 2009 was his last year on tour.<ref>{{Cite web|title=Kristian Pless – ATP Tour Overview|url=https://www.atptour.com/en/players/kristian-pless/p491/overview|access-date=2020-10-24|website=ATP Tour}}</ref>
