Neal Skupski

Neal Skupski was born on December 1, 1989, in Liverpool, England. He attended King David High School in Liverpool before studying sports administration and playing college tennis at Louisiana State University. Skupski turned professional in 2012. He initially competed on the Futures and Challenger Tours. Beginning in March 2013, he frequently partnered with his older brother, Ken Skupski Jr., achieving five Challenger titles that year. The Skupski brothers made their ATP World Tour debut at the 2013 Kremlin Cup, reaching the final and propelling Neal into the world’s top 100 doubles rankings by the end of the year.

Skupski’s career progressed with significant milestones. In 2017, he reached his first Grand Slam quarterfinal at Wimbledon, partnering with his brother. He secured his first ATP Tour title in February 2018 at the Open Sud de France, again with Ken. Later that year, he won his first ATP 500 title at the Vienna Open alongside Joe Salisbury. In 2019, Skupski formed a partnership with Jamie Murray, reaching their first Grand Slam semifinal at the US Open. He made his first Masters 1000 final appearance at the 2020 Western & Southern Open and won his fourth ATP doubles title at the 2020 Sofia Open.

His partnership with Wesley Koolhof began in 2022, leading to a highly successful year. They won two ATP 250 titles, three Masters 1000 titles (Madrid Open, Canadian Open, Paris Masters), and reached the US Open final. This strong performance culminated in Skupski achieving the world No. 1 doubles ranking on November 14, 2022, a position he shared with Koolhof. Key achievements include winning the 2023 Wimbledon Championships in men’s doubles with Koolhof, and two mixed doubles Wimbledon titles (2021, 2022) with Desirae Krawczyk. He also reached mixed doubles finals at the 2024 Australian Open and French Open. In 2025, Skupski recorded his 300th win on the ATP Tour.
