He reached a career-high ATP singles ranking of world No. 16 on 27 May 2019. He is currently the No. 1 Georgian player.[3]
In July 2018, he entered the main draw of the German Open in Hamburg as a qualifier and went on to win the tournament, defeating Leonardo Mayer in the final, thereby becoming the first Georgian player to ever win an ATP title.

On 21 May 2020, Basilashvili was arrested on a charge of physically assaulting ex-wife Neka Dorokashvili in front of their son.[7] Dorokashvili elaborated at a later point, alleging that Basilashvili "declared her as a subordinate" and treated her in a derogatory way.[8] Tbilisi court released Basilashvili on a bail of 100,000 Georgian Lari (around US$36,300) after his first arrest, however he since attended a trial hearing remotely.[9] His legal team denied the charges, stating that they were "false and completely unsubstantiated".[10] Basilashvili was cleared of charges after court judge questioned why Dorokashvili did not come forward earlier[11] and stated that all claims were either debunked or had no substantial evidence of having happened.[12]
