Luke Johnson (born 18 March 1994) is a British professional tennis player. He achieved his career-high ATP doubles ranking of No. 64 on 10 June 2024 and singles ranking of No. 606 on 29 November 2021.
Johnson has reached 55 career doubles finals, including 40 on the ITF World Tennis Tour. He has a record of 32 wins and 23 losses.
Personal life
[edit]Johnson grew up in the Leeds suburb of Roundhay and attended The Grammar School at Leeds. He played cricket up until the age of 16 but then decided to focus exclusively on tennis.[1]
He moved to the United States for his higher education and played tennis for Clemson University.[2]
Career
[edit]Johnson made his ATP Tour and Grand Slam main draw debut simultaneously at the 2019 Wimbledon Championships after receiving a wildcard for direct entry into the doubles draw.[3] Partnering compatriot Evan Hoyt, the pair were defeated in the first round by Nicholas Monroe and Mischa Zverev in straight sets 4–6, 4–6, 5–7.[citation needed]
He reached the top 100 in the rankings at world No. 83 on 29 January 2024 when he won a Challenger title at the 2024 BW Open with Skander Mansouri.[4][5]
In September 2024, Johnson won his 10th ATP Challenger Tour doubles title, and fifth of the season, at the Saint-Tropez Open, playing alongside Sander Arends.[6]
Once again partnering Arends, Johnson won his first ATP Tour level doubles title at the 2024 Moselle Open, defeating Pierre-Hugues Herbert and Albano Olivetti in the final.[7]
