Junior career
In 2014, Kozlov reached two junior grand slam finals, where he lost to Sascha Zverev at the Australian Open and Noah Rubin at Wimbledon. This grand slam success led him to a career high junior ranking of No. 2.[2] Kozlov also competed at the U18 National Championship, finishing in 3rd place in the Singles tournament and winning the Doubles tournament with Noah Rubin. With that victory, they earned a wild card into the main draw of the 2014 US Open. He capped off the year by winning the prestigious Orange Bowl junior tournament to avenge a loss in the final the previous year.[3]
In 2015, Kozlov reached the final of the U18 National Championship, where he lost to Frances Tiafoe in a five set thriller.
Professional career
Kozlov made his ATP World Tour debut as a wild card at the Newport tournament in 2013 and lost in the first round to Michał Przysiężny in 3 sets. At the age of 16, he defeated his first Top 100 player in Tim Smyczek to reach his first ATP Challenger final in Sacramento, where he would lose to fellow American Sam Querrey. He has also reached 6 career ITF Futures finals and won 3 of them.
In April 2016, Kozlov reached the final at the Open de Guadeloupe to propel him into the Top 250 of the ATP rankings for the first time.
