Career

Demoliner turned professional in 2006, playing smaller tournaments. In 2007, he played his 1st Challenger. At this time, he was considered one of the promises of the sport in Brazil.
In 2009, he managed to enter the top 300 list, and won his first Challenger title, in Blumenau. In 2011, again achieved good results in Blumenau Challenger, being runner-up. These were the two best results of his career in singles.
In doubles, Demoliner won two Challenger titles in 2009. However, only in 2012 formed a fixed partnership with João Souza, aiming to become an ATP-level doubles player. The partnership, which began in September, quickly obtained good results: five Challenger finals in a row, with two runners-up and three titles. With this, Demoliner was approaching the top 100 at doubles.
In February 2013 Demoliner first entered the doubles top 100. In the first half of 2013 he won four Challengers in doubles. In June, he participated for the first time in a Grand Slam, losing in the first round to the Bryan brothers, the n.1 duo in the world. He also reached the semifinals of the ATP 250 Newport in July.
In 2014 he had, as highlight campaigns, the semi-finals of the ATP 250 Zagreb, and two Challenger titles at Quito and Cordoba.
In 2015, he won two Challengers, reached the 3rd round of Wimbledon, the 2nd round of the US Open, and began to participate more ATP tournaments.
In 2016, Demoliner had as best campaigns two runner-ups in the ATP 250 of Quito and Bastad, the semi-final of the ATP 500 Rio de Janeiro, and reached the 3rd round in the US Open.
In 2017, he has already reached the 3rd round of the Australian Open and got 3 more runner-ups in the ATP 250 in São Paulo, Lyon and Chengdu alongside Marcus Daniell. Runner-up at the ATP 500 in Vienna alongside Sam Querrey for the very first time in this level.
In 2018, he won his first ATP 250 title in Antalya. He also was runner-up at ATP 250 Antwerp, and won a Challenger title in Barcelona.
In 2019, he won a Challenger title in Canberra alongside Frenchman Hugo Nys, two ATP 250 runner-up in Munich and Zhuhai, alongside Indian Divij Sharan and Dutch Matwé Middelkoop respectively and won one ATP 250 title in Moscow alongside Matwé Middelkoop, completing his career win number 100. At the end of the Russian event, Demoliner ended his season aiming rest and training for 2020 Australian Open alongside Middelkoop in January.
