American professional tennis player (born 1992)
Evan King (born March 25, 1992) is an American professional tennis player.
He has a career high ATP doubles ranking of world No. 54, achieved on 17 February 2025. He also has a career high ATP singles ranking No. 185, achieved in April 2018. He has won one ATP Tour doubles title at the 2025 Dallas Open with Christian Harrison . He also won 24 doubles titles on the ATP Challenger Tour . On the ITF Pro Circuit, King has six career singles titles and 22 career doubles titles.
College career
King held the record for most combined career men's singles and doubles wins at the University of Michigan until 2023 when All-American Andrew Fenty claimed this title, becoming the winningest player in program history. This was a passing of the torch moment for the Wolverine tennis program.
King was a three-time ITA All-American (2011, '12, '13), a two-time Big Ten Athlete of the Year (2012, '13), and a four-time All-Big Ten (2010, '11, '12, '13) player.
Professional career
King made his ATP main-draw debut at the 2009 Delray Beach Open as a 17 year old as a wildcard.[ 1]
At the 2021 US Open he reached the third round of a major for the first time in his career as a wildcard pair partnering fellow American Hunter Reese defeating ninth seeds Łukasz Kubot /Marcelo Melo in the first round[ 2] and then Austin Krajicek /Dominic Inglot in the second.[ 3]
Partnering Christian Harrison , King won his first ATP Tour doubles title at the 2025 Dallas Open , defeating Ariel Behar and Robert Galloway in the final.[ 4]
World TeamTennis
King has played two seasons with World TeamTennis starting in 2018 when he debuted in the league with the Orange County Breakers . In 2019 he joined the expansion Orlando Storm for their inaugural season.[ 5] This year, it was announced that he will join his hometown expansion team the Chicago Smash during the 2020 season set to begin July 12.[ 6]
King paired up with Rajeev Ram multiple times throughout the 2020 season in men's doubles. The Smash were seeded second in the WTT Playoffs and defeated the Orlando Storm for a spot in the final, where they ultimately fell to the New York Empire .
