He is a three-time Grand Slam champion, having won the 2023 Wimbledon Championships in men's doubles with Wesley Koolhof, and the 2021 and 2022 Wimbledon Championships in mixed doubles alongside Desirae Krawczyk. Koolhof and Skupski were also runners-up at the 2022 US Open, and Krawczyk and Skupski reached the final at the 2024 Australian Open. Skupski has won 15 doubles titles on the ATP Tour, including the Madrid Open, Canadian Open and Paris Masters at Masters 1000 level in 2022.[2] He became world no. 1 for the first time in November 2022, topping the rankings jointly with Koolhof at the end of the year, and became the third British world no. 1 in doubles after Jamie Murray and Joe Salisbury.

Skupski is the younger brother of former tennis player Ken Skupski and the pair regularly competed together until 2021, most notably winning the 2021 Mexican Open. Skupski has represented Great Britain in the Davis Cup since 2019 and competed at the 2020 Summer Olympics.

Early life and professional career edit

Skupski was born in Liverpool and went to King David High School. His father, Ken Sr., is of Polish descent, is a retired police officer, his mother is called Mary. Neal is the younger brother of Ken Skupski Jr., with whom he has regularly partnered since 2013.[3] He competed in a handful of matches in 2010 and 2011, before taking a year out to finish his degree at Louisiana State University, where he studied sports administration as well as playing college tennis, before turning professional in 2013.[4][5]

2013: ATP debut, first ATP final, top 100 debut edit

He began competing as a professional in 2013, initially playing on the Futures and Challenger Tours. After playing with a number of partners, he started competing more frequently with his brother Ken from March 2013 onwards.[6] The pair reached the final of the Nottingham Trophy on the Challenger Tour, before winning five Challenger titles in 2013, as of 23 September.[7][8] These wins saw Neal move into the world top 200 in July 2013.

At the 2013 Kremlin Cup the Skupski brothers entered their first ATP World Tour tournament, progressing to the final, where they lost on a tie-break.[9] Following the final, Neal moved into the top 100 for the first time, having been unranked at the start of the season. He ended 2013 ranked 86th in the world.

2017–2018: First Grand Slam quarterfinal, first two ATP titles edit

At the 2017 Wimbledon Championships he reached the quarterfinals as a wildcard for the first time in his career partnering with his brother Ken where they were defeated by 4th seeded pair Łukasz Kubot and Marcelo Melo.

Skupski won his first ATP Tour title at the Open Sud de France, partnering again with his brother Ken, their first ATP title together.[10] He won his second and biggest title of his career thus far at the ATP 500 2018 Vienna Open partnering with fellow Brit Joe Salisbury.

2019–2020: First Major mixed-doubles & doubles semifinals and Masters final edit

Skupski and Spanish partner María José Martínez Sánchez were defeated in their mixed doubles semifinal at the 2019 Australian Open by third seeded pair and eventual champions Barbora Krejčíková and Rajeev Ram.

Following the 2019 French Open, Skupski formed a partnership with fellow Briton Jamie Murray.[11] With Murray he reached his first Grand Slam semifinal at the 2019 US Open (tennis) where they lost to the top-seeded Colombian pair and eventual champions Juan Sebastián Cabal and Robert Farah.

He made his first Masters 1000 final at the 2020 Western & Southern Open defeating top seeded pair Cabal/Farah in the first round en route before losing to Pablo Carreno Busta and Alex de Minaur in the final, and won his fourth ATP doubles title at the 2020 Sofia Open by a walkover from Jürgen Melzer and Édouard Roger-Vasselin.

The pair Skupski/Murray also reached the quarterfinals at the French Open, which was Neal's first showing at this level at this Major and third overall and again the quarterfinals at the US Open.

2021: Top 15 debut and Wimbledon mixed-doubles champion, Olympics debut edit

In March, Skupski won his fifth ATP title with his brother Ken at the Mexican Open. Two weeks later, he reached his second Masters-1000 final with compatriot Dan Evans at the Miami Open and entered the top 20 in the doubles rankings for the first time. Again two weeks later and partnering with Dan Evans, he reached his third Masters 1000 final at the Monte-Carlo Masters and climbed to a career-high ranking in doubles of world No. 16 on 19 April 2021. On 11 July 2021, partnering with Desirae Krawczyk, he won the Wimbledon mixed-doubles final.[12] He reached the top 15 in doubles on 12 July 2021.

At the 2022 French Open he reached the quarterfinals with Koolhof for the second time at this Major, defeating unseeded pair of Americans Tommy Paul and Mackenzie McDonald.[17] As a result, Skupski entered the top 10 of the ATP rankings in doubles for the first time on 6 June 2022.

As a lifelong Liverpool fan, Skupski wakes up at 3am when in Australia to watch the Reds and has asked for the Liverpool score when he's on the court.[33]
