Early life

Quinn was born on March 12, 2004 in Fresno, California. His parents were former tennis players. [4] Quinn attended the San Joaquin Memorial High School in Fresno, California.

College career

Quinn was an early enrollee at the University of Georgia in January 2022. He was ranked the No. 1 national tennis recruit in 2022. In May 2023 Quinn won the 2023 NCAA Singles Championship for the Georgia Bulldogs. [2] [5] [6]

Professional career

2022: Grand Slam doubles debut

Quinn won the doubles at the 2022 USTA Boys 18s National Championship with his partner Nicholas Godsick which earned them a wildcard into the main draw of the 2022 US Open. They won the final with a 6–4, 6–0 defeat of Sebastian Gorzny and Alex Michelsen who had been top seeds following their 2022 Wimbledon Junior doubles victory. [7] In the singles event at the same competition, Quinn also reached the final but lost to Learner Tien in 4 sets. For reaching the final, Quinn gained a wildcard into the singles qualifying at Flushing Meadow. [8] In the first round of the qualifying event at Flushing Meadows, Quinn defeated his higher ranked opponent Ernesto Escobedo with a 5–7, 6–4, 6–4 victory. [9] [10]

2023: Turning Pro, Major singles debut, first ATP win

After winning the 2023 NCAA Singles Championship in May 2023, Quinn turned professional one month later. [6]

At the US Open, he entered as a wildcard entry all three of the events he was eligible for: he lost in the first round of the men's singles and men's doubles, but he and partner Ashlyn Krueger made it to the second round of the mixed doubles. [11]

2024-25: Masters debut, maiden Challenger title, top 150

Quinn received a wildcard at the 2024 Dallas Open for his debut at the tournament. [12] Having also received a wildcard for the qualifying event, he reached the main draw at the 2024 BNP Paribas Open making his Masters debut. [13] [14] [15]

Quinn recorded his second ATP Tour win at the 2024 Hall of Fame Open over Marc Polmans, having recorded his first one at the same tournament in 2023 over Mukund Sasikumar also as a wildcard. [16] At the US Open Quinn lost to Valentin Royer in the second round of qualifying but reached a new career-high ranking of No. 236 on 26 August 2024. [17] [3] Quinn won his maiden Challenger title at the 2024 Champaign–Urbana Challenger, over Nishesh Basavareddy. [18] [19]

Following reaching the final at the 2025 Canberra Tennis International as a qualifier, Quinn entered the top 160 in the singles rankings on 27 January 2025. [20] [21] [3] Ranked No. 137, Quinn qualified again for the main draw at the 2025 Indian Wells Open. [22]

Style of play

Former French Open doubles champion Luke Jensen on ESPN commentary marked the Quinn forehand with the phrase "That’s the hammer! That’s the cannon! Unleash the beast". In his US Open qualifying win over Ernesto Escobedo, Quinn was regularly hitting 120 mph first serves whilst displaying a second serve that sufficiently kicked high and wide that for some it drew favourable comparisons with Quinn's compatriot John Isner. [23]

Endorsements

Quinn signed on as a paid promoter for Prudential Insurance before the 2023 US Open and appeared in commercials throughout the tournament. [24]
