Professional career

2022: ATP debut

In April 2022, Prižmić reached his first ITF final at a clay-court tournament in Dubrovnik, Croatia, where he lost to Gergely Madarász in straight sets.

Prižmić made his ATP debut in the singles draw of the 2022 Croatia Open Umag as a wildcard where he lost to Bernabé Zapata Miralles in the first round by retirement.[7]

2023: First ATP win & Challenger title, Davis Cup, top 155 debuts

With his fifth ITF title in Poreč, Croatia, Prižmić became the best under-18 player in the world at No. 381 on 20 March 2023.[9]

In April, Prižmić then qualified for the Banja Luka Open in Bosnia and Herzegovina, but fell to Richard Gasquet in the first round.[7] A few months later, he received a wildcard into the Croatia Open and defeated Duje Ajduković in the first round to record his first ATP victory.[10] He then defeated Zsombor Piros to reach his maiden ATP quarterfinal, losing to eventual champion Alexei Popyrin.[7]

In August, Prižmić competed at the Banja Luka Challenger and won his maiden Challenger title. Shortly after he was appointed by coach Vedran Martić to the Croatia Davis Cup team, alongside Borna Ćorić, Borna Gojo, Ivan Dodig and Mate Pavić.[11]

In October, Prižmić qualified for the main draw of the Stockholm Open where he defeated sixth seed and world No. 30 Jiří Lehečka in the first round, his first-ever win over a Top 50 player.[12][13] He reached a career-high singles ranking of No. 155 on 23 October 2023.
