He represents Ireland at the Davis Cup, where he has a W/L record of 0–3.[2] He notably had multiple set points against former world number 3 Dominic Thiem before losing in straight sets in his second ever match for Ireland.[3][4]
Agwi has won four singles titles on the ITF Men's World Tennis Tour, beginning with an M15 title in Germany in early 2024, becoming the first Irish player in 5 years to win an ITF singles title.[5]
In March 2024, Agwi qualified for his first ATP Challenger Tour main draw at the Tennis Challenger Hamburg, defeating Cem İlkel to claim his first Challenger main draw win. In the second round, he claimed his first win against a top 200 player, defeating the tournament's eighth seed and former top 50 player Marc-Andrea Hüsler to reach his first Challenger quarterfinal.[citation needed]
