James is a world-class athlete, avid golfer, philanthropist, and it doesn’t hurt that he was once selected by People Magazine™ as one of the sexiest men alive. Whether as the #1 ranked junior in the United States, the NCAA finalist at Harvard, or the #4 ranked player in the ATP world rankings, James has excelled at every level of tennis. He was even a member of the United States’ 2007 Davis Cup championship team.
Success was never easy for James; he was forced to overcome physical adversity as a junior with scoliosis and as a professional with a fractured vertebrae in his neck. His passion for tennis is evident in his current participation in the Champions Tour and numerous charity tennis events.
James carries a single-digit handicap (6.7) in golf and regularly competes in celebrity tournaments. In 2014, he won the Jack Lemmon award at the Pebble Beach Pro/Am as the amateur who helped his pro partner the most. James also started the James Blake Foundation as a way to raise money for cancer research in honor of his father.
