Early life

Evan King was born in Chicago on March 25, 1992. He is the son of Evelyn Maxwell and Van King.^[3] He attended Walter Payton College Prep for two years and played tennis.^[3] In 2006, he won five Boys' 16-and-under singles titles, including the USTA National Open and USTA National Winter Championships.^[3] In 2007, he was the Illinois State champion in singles.^[3][4] In 2008, he moved to Boca Raton, Florida, to attend the USTA Training Academy, and enrolled in online classes at Laurel Springs School.^[3] While in high school, King was featured on the covers of USTA Magazine (April 2008) and RISE Magazine (June 2008),^[3] as well as being ranked No. 1 in the USTA 18-and-under category, No. 1 in the TennisRPI list, and the nation’s No. 2 prospect by Tennisrecruiting.net.^[4]

College career

Following in his father's footsteps,^[3] King attended the University of Michigan.^[3] He played on the Wolverine men's tennis team and amassed a 116-34 singles record.^[5] He was a three-time ITA All-American (2011, '12, '13),^[5] a two-time Big Ten Athlete of the Year (2012, '13),^[5] and a four-time All-Big Ten (2010, '11, '12, '13) player.^[3] He was Michigan's all-time leader in combined singles and doubles wins with 195^[5] until 2023 when Andrew Fenty surpassed his record. He served as a volunteer assistant during the dual-match portion of the 2014-15 season, and as a volunteer assistant coach in 2015-16.^[5]

Professional career

King made his ATP main-draw debut at the 2009 Delray Beach Open as a 17 year old as a wildcard.^[6]

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^[7] and then Austin Krajicek/Dominic Inglot in the second.^[8]

Partnering with Christian Harrison, King won his first ATP Tour doubles title at the 2025 Dallas Open, defeating Ariel Behar and Robert Galloway in the final.^[9] Within three weeks they lifted their second title, also an ATP 500 in Acapulco, having qualified for the main draw. They defeated fourth seeds Sadio Doumbia and Fabien Reboul 6-4, 6-0 in a 56-minute final.^[10][11]

At the 2025 BNP Paribas Open the pair reached their first Masters semifinal as wildcards with wins over Matthew Ebden and John Peers and seventh-seeded Argentines Maximo Gonzalez and Andres Molteni. As a result King reached a new career-high ranking in the top 30 on 17 March 2025.^[12][13] At the next Masters in Miami, the pair reached back-to-back quarterfinals upsetting third seeds Simone Bolelli and Andrea Vavassori and King reached the top 25 in the rankings on 31 March 2025.^[14] The pair reached another semifinal at the 2025 Mutua Madrid Open but again lost, this time to the world No. 1 pair Marcelo Arevalo and Mate Pavic. As a result they both reached new career-high rankings in the top 20 in the rankings on 5 May 2025.^[15]

At the 2025 French Open, King reached the semifinals with Christian Harrison in doubles,^[16][17] and the final with Taylor Townsend in mixed doubles.^[2]

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.^[18] It was announced that he will join his hometown expansion team the Chicago Smash during the 2020 season set to begin July 12.^[19]

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.
