He reached his career-high ATP doubles ranking of world No. 44 in July 2010, and won seven titles on theATP Tour, most notably the2021 Mexican Open alongside younger brotherNeal Skupski, with whom he regularly competed from 2013. Skupski is a three-timeGrand Slam quarterfinalist, having reached this stage at the2017 Wimbledon Championships in both men's and mixed doubles, and the2020 Australian Open in men's doubles.

At the2010 Commonwealth Games in Delhi, he won two medals representing England, silver in men's doubles withRoss Hutchins, and bronze in mixed doubles partneringSarah Borwell. Skupski also represented Great Britain in theDavis Cup on two occasions in2010.

Early and personal life

[edit]

Ken Skupski was born in Liverpool. His father, Ken Sr. ofPolish descent, is a retired police officer, his mother Mary is a golfer.[1]

Skupski is a big fan ofLiverpool Football Club and is a keen golfer who plays as often as he can and has a handicap of six.[2]

As youngsters, the brothers once lost a game of doubles against a pairing with special educational and emotional needs, which they claim motivated them to train harder and which they attribute to their future success.

University tennis career

[edit]

Skupski graduated fromLouisiana State University in May 2007. NCAA Doubles finalist 2005 and Two-time Southeastern Conference Coaches Indoor Champion (only player in the history of the Southeastern Conference to win back-to-back titles). Fourth biggest winning player in the school's history with 107 wins. Six-time All-American (two Singles, one Doubles and three Academic).[2]

Professional career

[edit]

2004

[edit]

Eight years after he was crowned Wimbledon champion,Richard Krajicek took on Skupski in an exhibition match in Liverpool. Skupski tied a closely contested clash one set all, then won a Super TieBreak 10–7.[3][4]

2008

[edit]

Skupski was looking for a fellow British doubles partner who was capable of going to the top of the game.Colin Fleming had turned pro in September and Skupski thought Fleming's game style suited his. Skupski took a bit of a hit because his ranking 250 was much higher than Fleming's at around 900, and so they came to play some low-level Futures and went on a great run.The pair came to be known as 'Flemski'.[5]

Fleming/Skupski won three Futures in Glasgow, London, Sunderland[6][7][8] and theCaversham International Challenger in Jersey.[9]

Ken Skupski finished the year there because he'd had a long year, but Fleming continued by partneringJonny Marray in the Czech Republic and winning two Futures in Frydland Nad Ostravici,[10] and Opava[11]

2009

[edit]

In June 2009, Skupski and Colin Fleming beat the world no. 1 ranked doubles pair,Mike Bryan andBob Bryan, at theQueen's Club grass court tournament. However he was out in the first round atWimbledon for the second year in a row in five sets having led by two sets to love, again he partnered Fleming. He did however make into the second round of the mixed doubles losing in straight sets.

In September, the Davis Cup CaptainJohn Lloyd announced that Skupski was part of the Great Britain Davis Cup squad for theEurope/Africa Zone Group 1 relegation play-off against Poland, Skupsi was acting as cover for any injuries and helping the team prepare for Poland's world top-10 ranked doubles team, but didn't play.[12] Great Britain lost 3–2, and were relegated to Group II of the Davis Cup.

In September 2009 he won at theOpen de Moselle in France. Again partnering Fleming they won 2–6, 6–4, 10–5, against the defending champion,Arnaud Clément andMichaël Llodra. Two months later they won their second title at theSt Petersburg Open, defeating another French team ofJérémy Chardy andRichard Gasquet in the final in three sets 2–6, 7–5, 10–4.

2010

[edit]

In January 2010, Skupski competed at his firstGrand Slam outside ofWimbledon at theAustralian Open. Again partnering Fleming they made it into the second before losing in three sets toMichael Kohlmann andJarkko Nieminen 6–3, 4–6, 3–6. At theFrench Open he repeated his feat at the Australian open by losing in at the second in three sets to fourth seedsWesley Moodie andDick Norman 6–7(5–7), 6–4, 6–7(4–7), again he partnered Fleming.

In June, Skupski reached the final ofEastbourne Open but lost in the final toMariusz Fyrstenberg andMarcin Matkowski in three sets partnering Colin Fleming. Following his successful run at the Eastbourne Open he finally got a win atWimbledon in the first round, but again lost in the second to the much more experienced and second seeds theBryan brothers in straight sets, he was partnering Fleming. For the first time in his career he competed at all four Grand Slams in the same year, but at theUS Open, Skupski and Fleming lost in the first round in straight sets.

The new Davis Cup CaptainLeon Smith selected Skupski to take part in Great Britain's vitalDavis Cup tie vs Turkey, at Eastbourne, in July alongsideColin Fleming,James Ward,Jamie Baker, andAlex Ward. Defeat would have meant Great Britain's relegation toEurope Zone Group III, the lowest tier of the competition. Skupski and Colin Fleming secured the 6–3, 6–4, 6–4 win that gave Britain an unassailable 3–0 lead, ending a run of five straight defeats, giving Great Britain a first Davis Cup win in three years.[13][14]

In October, at theCommonwealth Games in Delhi, England's Skupski andRoss Hutchins won theDoubles Silver Medal, by losing to AustraliansPaul Hanley andPeter Luczak in the final.[15]A few days later, Skupski and Ross Hutchins were opponents in the Mixed Doubles, Skupski andSarah Borwell beating Ross Hutchins andAnna Smith to win the bronze medal. Skupski and Borwell who had never played together ahead of the Indian event were brought together by their shared coach, Louis Cayer.[16]

Following the Commonwealth Games, Skupski and Colin Fleming decided to end their partnership after a poor run of results.[5] Their final tournament was St. Petersburg where they were beaten in the first round.

2011

[edit]

In January at theAustralian Open Skupski this time partneringTravis Parrott lost in the first round in straight sets. In February, Skupski partneredRobin Haase at theMarseille Open. They reached the final and won the title defeatingJulien Benneteau andJo-Wilfried Tsonga 6–3, 6–7(4–7), [13–11]. This was his first title in a year and a half. At theFrench Open, Skupski again lost in the first round in straight sets to his old partner Fleming 4–6, 4–6, this time he was partneringIgor Zelenay. AtWimbledon again he lost in the first round in straight sets, he was partneringRobin Haase, InMixed Doubles, he partneredElena Baltacha where they got to the second round but lost in straight sets to fifteenth seedsAndy Ram andMeghann Shaughnessy 4–6, 4–6.

At theAustralian Open in January, Skupski partneredXavier Malisse where they lost in the first round in straight sets. This was Skupski's fifth first round exit in a row without taking a single set. In mid June, Skupski for the second time got to the final ofAegon International partneringJamie Delgado, but lost to fellow BritsColin Fleming andRoss Hutchins 4–6, 3–6. This was his first final in over a year. AtWimbledon, Skupski finally broke his grand slam curse by making it into the second round for the first time in two years after winning a grilling five setter in the first round. But unfortunately for Skupski and new doubles partnerJamie Delgado they faced the heavy task of the Bryan brothers. They were unable to defeat them and they lost in straight sets 6–7(2–7), 0–6, 2–6. He also competed in themixed doubles event partneringMelanie South. They made it into the third round but were defeated by third seedsNenad Zimonjić andKatarina Srebotnik in three tough sets 4–6, 7–6(7–5), 7–9.

In the second round they defeated the defending championsJürgen Melzer andPhilipp Petzschner in straight sets.

2013

[edit]

Although initially partnering with Delgado, Skupski increasingly played during 2013 with his brotherNeal. Due to Neal's lower ranking, the pair played in a number ofFutures andChallenger tournaments, winning six tournaments at the Challenger level. At theKremlin Cup they entered their first ATP level tournament, reaching the final. At Grand Slam events, Skupski competed with some of his former partners, reaching the second round once again atWimbledon, with Xavier Malisse.

2014

[edit]

The Skupski brothers ranking as a partnership was not high enough to guarantee entry at the French Open, so they split to give themselves a better chance of qualifying. Ken partnered New ZealanderMichael Venus, a fellow Louisiana State University alumni, while Neal teamed up with AmericanBradley Klahn, though they all lost in the first round.[17]

2015

[edit]

In July, Neal Skupski was busy playing World Team tennis in the US, so Skupski partneredDivij Sharan, clinching the doubles title in the Euro 42,500 men's Challenger tennis tournament, with a 4–6, 7-6(3), 10–6 victory over fourth seedsIlija Bozoljac of Serbia andFlavio Cipolla of Italy, inRecanati,Italy.[18]

In September, the Skupskis won theSt. Remy Challenger title in France, only playing two matches in the event due to opening round byes and a Semi-Final walkover. There were just 23 sets and three match breakers in the entire doubles event. They were the top seeds and beat the second seedsAndrej Martin andIgor Zelenay in the final, 6–4, 6–1.
