Ethan Quinn has already made his mark on the professional circuit, reaching a career-high singles ranking of No. 454 and a doubles ranking of No. 375 in the world.

Quinn previously won the doubles title with his partner Daniel Vallejo at M15 Fountain Valley, and M15 Los Angeles, where they upset the pair of Abraham Asaba/Sekou Bangoura and Aiden Mayo/Keenan Mayo in the finals.
