Ross Dan Hutchins is a retired British professional tennis player who specialized in doubles. Born in 1985, Hutchins turned professional in 2002, initially finding success on the Challenger circuit before transitioning to the ATP Tour in late 2007. Over the course of his career, he established himself as one of Great Britain's top doubles competitors alongside contemporaries like Jamie Murray, Colin Fleming, and Ken Skupski. He reached thirteen ATP Tour doubles finals, securing five titles in Beijing, Montpellier, St Petersburg, Delray Beach, and Eastbourne, and achieved a career-high doubles ranking of world number 26.
Hutchins represented England at the 2010 Commonwealth Games in Delhi, where he won a silver medal in the men's doubles event alongside Ken Skupski. His most successful Grand Slam campaign came in 2011, when he reached the quarter-finals at both Wimbledon and the US Open. His playing career was temporarily halted in late 2012 when he was diagnosed with Hodgkin's lymphoma. After undergoing treatment, his cancer went into remission in July 2013. Although the illness forced him to miss the entire 2013 season, he successfully returned to professional competition at the start of 2014.
Following his retirement from active play, Hutchins transitioned into sports administration. In March 2014, he was appointed as the tournament director for the Aegon Championships. Later that year, in September 2014, he stepped down from this role to become the Vice President of Player Relations for the Association of Tennis Professionals (ATP).
