Jared Donaldson (born October 9, 1996) is an American professional tennis player from Glocester, Rhode Island. Jared is a "Next Generation" star on the ATP World Tour of Tennis as he is among a handful of top under-21-years-of-age professional tennis players in the world. He has won an ATP Challenger title in each of singles and doubles.
Donaldson trained on the red clay in Buenos Aires for two years instead of following the conventional route of a tennis academy or USTA Player Development. His time there dramatically improved his consistency, movement, and mental game. Having never claimed any prestigious junior crowns (Orange Bowl, Junior grandslams, Les Petits), Donaldson reached the final of the 2013 USTA Boys 18s National Championship at 16, where he lost to Collin Altamirano in straight sets.
At the 2013 US Open, he reached the final round of qualifying, beating two players in the Top 250.
He continued to play extensively in the Turkey and US Futures circuit until breaking through with three consecutive futures titles in June 2014. Donaldson qualified for his first ATP event at the 2014 Citi Open in Washington, D.C. He made an official statement about turning pro instead of playing collegiate tennis on August 22, 2014, just short of his 18th birthday.
He received main draw wildcards into the singles and doubles tournaments at the 2014 US Open. Although he lost to Gaël Monfils in straight sets, he received high praise by many of the tennis elite.
In January 2015, he won his first Challenger title at the 2015 Royal Lahaina Challenger in Maui, allowing him to move into the Top 200 of the ATP rankings. He also won the doubles title in Maui with partner Stefan Kozlov. The following month, he won his first ATP level match at the 2015 Memphis Open, this time defeating Kozlov.
