'''Finn Tearney''' (born 27 September 1990) is a tennis player from New Zealand.

Tearney has a career high [[Association of Tennis Professionals|ATP]] singles ranking of No. 356 achieved on 10 October 2016 and a career high ATP doubles ranking of No. 402 achieved on 8 February 2016.

He has won two [[International Tennis Federation|ITF]] Futures singles titles and six ITF Futures doubles titles.

Tearney made his ATP main draw debut at the [[2015 Heineken Open]], where he received a wildcard into the doubles competition, partnering [[Wesley Whitehouse]]. He made his ATP singles main draw debut at the [[2016 ASB Classic]].

He has become very much a part-time player on the professional circuit as he continues his academic career at [[Durham University]] in England, but returned to New Zealand in December 2018 to successfully defend his New Zealand title.<ref name="2018 Pascoes New Zealand Tennis Championships - Men's Singles">{{cite web|url=https://tnz.tournamentsoftware.com/sport/draw.aspx?id=29671097-350B-49A3-B45F-2F06DDBB8713&draw=4|title=2018 NZ Tennis Championships - Men's Singles|publisher=Tennis New Zealand|access-date=February 23, 2019}}</ref>

==Career== Winning the New Zealand championships gained Tearney a wild card entry into the qualifying draw for the [[2019 ASB Classic – Men's singles|2019 ASB Classic]], where he lost in the first round to [[Thomas Fabbiano]]. A few weeks later he was in Portugal where, in an epic match with more than a dozen rallies of twenty shots or more, he beat Jacob Grills in the final of the ITF Futures tournament in [[Vale do Lobo]].

Tearney was called up to the [[New Zealand Davis Cup team]] in March 2020 for their tie against [[Venezuela Davis Cup team|Venezuela]], despite no longer playing tennis professionally and working for a property development company, and defeated [[Jordi Muñoz Abreu]] in the first singles rubber in straight sets 6–4 6–4.<ref>{{cite news |last1=Long |first1=David |title=Finn Tearney, Ajeet Rai named NZ Davis Cup singles players, Rubin Statham rested |url=https://www.stuff.co.nz/sport/tennis/120046458/finn-tearney-ajeet-rai-named-nz-davis-cup-singles-players-rubin-statham-rested?rm=m |access-date=18 September 2020 |work=Stuff |date=5 March 2020 |language=en}}</ref><ref>{{cite web |title=Match detail: Tearney - Munoz-Abreu |url=https://www.tennisexplorer.com/match-detail/?id=1878698 |website=TennisExplorer.com |access-date=18 September 2020 |language=en}}</ref>
