John Millman started playing tennis at the age of 4. He arrived on the circuit in 2006 and reached his highest ranking in October 2018 with a 33 place in the ATP rankings.

In September 2018, he reached the quarter-finals of the US Open, notably beating world number 14 Fabio Fognini in the second round. In the round of 16, he faced world No. 2 Roger Federer, whom he surprisingly beat in four sets (3-6, 7-5, 7-67, 7-63)1, winning for the first time against a top 10 player.
