O’Connell entered the 2019 season ranked outside the Top 1000 after dealing with injury setbacks, but promptly brought his ranking up near the Top 100 by the end of the year. Though his momentum was slowed by an interrupted 2020 season, everyone is looking forward to seeing Chris’s ranking reflect the talent he’s shown over the past years as a player that belongs in the main draw of every Grand Slam and as a regular in ATP Tour events. 

“Topnotch is a world-class group and I’m excited to join their team”, explained O’Connell. “I know their support will help me continue to develop as a professional and make sure my career is maximized on court and off. 

O’Connell is expected to start his 2021 campaign with Tour-level events ahead of the Australian Open.
