His Grand Slam performance improved the following year as in 2015 he reached at least the quarterfinals at all the Grand Slam events, including 2 finals and even a major win at the US Open. He was ranked the no. 1 junior in the world and named the ITF Junior World Champion. A first for an American since 2005. That same year, he also would go professional.
His professional was off to a great start after winning multiple back-to-back Challenger titles. Taylor’s ranking had rocketed from the 600s to the Top 250. And his rise only accelerated in the following year. He would also make his first final in 2015.
In 2016, his first full season as a professional, Taylor was ranked in the Top 100 and made his Grand Slam main draw debut at the first major event he ever participated in.

This trailblazer showed no signs of stopping as at his first ATP 500 event, the Abierto Mexicano Telcel, Taylor reached the quarter-finals which catapulted him into the Top 100. He ended the year with the ATP Star of Tomorrow award for being the youngest among the Top 100 players.
2017 saw his first Top 10 win at Indian Wells after upsetting world no. 6 Marin Cilic in the second round but an injury left him unable to play most of the 2017 season. He did reach the quarter-finals at 2 events upon returning and finally recorded his first Grand Slam win at the 2017 US Open.
Taylor had fallen outside the Top 100 after his inactivity in the previous season. To make his return, Taylor had reached 4 Challenger finals, including a title win at the newly established Newport Beach event. Back at Indian Wells, he reached the 4th round after upsetting numerous top players, making it his best ATP Masters 1000 performance so far.
A semi-final at the US Men’s Clay Court Championships and a 3rd round appearance at the US Open, which was his best Grand Slam showing so far, finally allowed him to make it into the Top 50. In the following year, Taylor would win his first ATP title.
He started the year with another title at Newport Beach, giving him his second consecutive title at the Challenger event. He then went to win the Eastbourne International by upsetting Sam Querrey in the final. With his first title in hand, Taylor had his best Grand Slam performance of his career so far.
He made the 3rd round at the Australian Open, 2nd round at the French Open, and was seeded for the first time at a Grand Slam during the US Open, but he was outed in the first round. His game upset numerous top players that season, including Alexander Zverev at the Swiss Indoors. He ended the year as world no. 32 but he had peaked at no. 25.
Coming to more recent years. In 2020, Taylor kept improving. His Grand Slam performance in particular saw him making the 3rd round at all the major events.

After a quarter-final run at the new Dallas Open, he lost in the second round at the Abierto Mexicano Telcel. Following this came the single biggest and most significant victory of Taylor’s career to the present day. He would defeat Miomir Kecmanovic, Alex de Minaur, and Andrey Rublev to reach his first Masters 1000 final. In the final, he went on to defeat Rafael Nadal to secure his Maiden Masters 1000 title.
This victory made him the American first man since John Isner in 2012 to reach a Masters final and the first American since Andre Agassi in 2001 to win at Indian Wells. It was also his first win against a Big Three member. His run at the Miami Open also resulted in a successful 4th round appearance.

But before this, he had reached 2 quarter-finals at the US Clay Court Championships and at the Monte-Carlo Masters.

Another major win for Taylor was his Tokyo Open title, his first ATP 500 title, and 3rd title for the season, making him the first American to win at the event since Pete Sampras in the 1990s.
For the first time since Jack Sock in 2017, an American occupied a spot in the Top 10. Firstly he didn’t qualify for the ATP Finals directly but when world no. 1 Carlos Alcaraz withdrew, Taylor was put in. He went on to beat Felix-Auger Aliassime and world no. 2 Rafael Nadal on his way to the semi-finals. He lost to Novak Djokovic but ended the year as world no. 9.
2023 has already proven a great year for America. He lost in the second round of the Australian Open but he reached the semi-final at the Dallas Open. He has even won his fifth title after defeating Mackenzie McDonald at the Delray Beach Open. Taylor has even ranked up 2 spots for a new career-high ranking of world no. 7.
