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

Tearney has a career high [ATP](/source/Association_of_Tennis_Professionals) 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 [ITF](/source/International_Tennis_Federation) Futures singles titles and six ITF Futures doubles titles.

Tearney made his ATP main draw debut at the [2015 Heineken Open](/source/2015_Heineken_Open), where he received a wildcard into the doubles competition, partnering [Wesley Whitehouse](/source/Wesley_Whitehouse). He made his ATP singles main draw debut at the [2016 ASB Classic](/source/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](/source/Durham_University) in England, but returned to New Zealand in December 2018 to successfully defend his New Zealand title.[1]

## Career

Winning the New Zealand championships gained Tearney a wild card entry into the qualifying draw for the [2019 ASB Classic](/source/2019_ASB_Classic_%E2%80%93_Men's_singles), where he lost in the first round to [Thomas Fabbiano](/source/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](/source/Vale_do_Lobo).

Tearney was called up to the [New Zealand Davis Cup team](/source/New_Zealand_Davis_Cup_team) in March 2020 for their tie against [Venezuela](/source/Venezuela_Davis_Cup_team), despite no longer playing tennis professionally and working for a property development company, and defeated [Jordi Muñoz Abreu](/source/Jordi_Mu%C3%B1oz_Abreu) in the first singles rubber in straight sets 6–4 6–4.[2][3]
