Player profile

Taro Daniel owns a tour title and victories over Djokovic and Murray

Taro Daniel became the second Japanese man of the Open Era to win an ATP clay-court title when he lifted the 2018 Istanbul trophy. That season also produced a defining upset: as a qualifier at Indian Wells, he defeated five-time champion Novak Djokovic. Daniel later beat Andy Murray at the 2022 Australian Open and reached his second ATP final in Auckland in 2024, rising to a career-high No. 58. Born in New York and developed partly in Valencia, he blends patient baseline construction with the willingness to use a drop shot or finish forward when space appears.

US Open story

Taro Daniel faces American junior Andrew Johnson in 2026 qualifying

Daniel's best US Open result came in 2017. He survived a five-set first round against Tommy Paul, then won the opening set against world No. 1 Rafael Nadal on Arthur Ashe Stadium before Nadal prevailed 4-6, 6-3, 6-2, 6-2. Six later New York main-draw appearances ended in round one. In 2026 Daniel begins in qualifying against 16-year-old American wild card Andrew Johnson. The match is scheduled and has no score. Daniel needs three victories to return to the main draw despite his eight prior appearances.

What to watch

Taro Daniel can use variety to keep Andrew Johnson from setting his feet

Daniel's first set against Nadal featured drop shots, volleys, sprints and a late service hold under pressure—not the profile of a player committed to one baseline speed. That variety is the relevant lens against a younger opponent with less experience of five-set majors and tour-level patterns. Daniel should be watched for when he changes height and length, especially after drawing Johnson behind the baseline. The risk is passivity: if every point becomes the same crosscourt exchange, the American can settle. Daniel's best New York tennis has arrived when his change-up is part of the plan, not an emergency.
