Contents

Personal life

Quinn attended the San Joaquin Memorial High School in Fresno, California. He was an early enrollee at the University of Georgia in January 2022. He was ranked the No. 1 national tennis recruit in 2022. [2] [3]

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. [4] 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. [5] In the first round of the qualifying event at Flushing Meadows, Quinn defeated his higher ranked compatriot Ernesto Escobedo with a 5–7, 6–4, 6–4 victory. [6] [7]

2023: Turning Pro, Grand Slam singles debut

Quinn won the 2023 NCAA Singles Championship for the Georgia Bulldogs in May 2023, and turned professional one month later. [8]

At the US Open, he entered 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. [9]

2024: First Challenger final, Masters debut

He received a wildcard at the 2024 Dallas Open for his debut at the tournament. [10]

Having also received a wildcard for the qualifying event, he reached the main draw at the 2024 BNP Paribas Open making his Masters debut. [11] [12] [13]

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. [14]

Endorsements

Quinn signed on as a paid promoter for Prudential Insurance before the US Open and appeared in commercials throughout the tournament. [15]
