"It's been 14 years of memories I will never forget. From winning four Grand Slams, Olympic Gold and Bronze, top 10 rankings in singles and doubles and competing on the Davis Cup and Laver Cup teams, it's been beyond what I could've ever dreamed." 

Sock won four titles in men's singles and reached a career high ranking of No. 8 in 2017, but his most notable achievements came in doubles. He won the men’s doubles titles at Wimbledon in 2014 and 2018, the same year he also claimed victory at the U.S. Open.

He previously won the mixed doubles title at the U.S. Open in 2011. In 2016, he earned gold in mixed doubles at the Summer Games in Rio.
