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 and 2024 French Open. Skupski has won 17 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.
