Steve Johnson

One of the greatest college players of all time, Steve Johnson led USC to four NCAA team titles (2009-12) and captured a pair of NCAA singles championships (2011-12). A seven-time All-American, Johnson closed out his career on an NCAA-record 72-match win streak. In his senior season, Johnson went 37-0 in singles and 31-3 in doubles. After his junior and senior seasons, he was named the ITA and Pac-10/Pac-12 Player of the Year. In his four years at USC, Johnson earned 149 wins in singles and 134 in doubles and achieved nearly everything there was to achieve at the collegiate level. Twelve years after turning pro, Johnson retired from tennis in 2024 with an overall record of 197-204 on the ATP Tour. He won four singles titles in his career, reached a high of No. 21 in the world in 2016, won a pair of doubles titles and earned more than $8 million in career earnings. In 2016, Johnson and fellow American Jack Sock teamed up to earn the men’s doubles bronze medal at the Rio Olympics. The top-ranked American in 2016, Johnson enjoyed a five-year stretch (2014-18) in which he finished inside the year-end Top 50 rankings. Johnson won a career-best 36 matches in the 2015 season.
