Travis Parrott (born August 16, 1980)[1] is an American former professional ATP tennis doubles player. He is primarily a doubles specialist. Travis is the son of Brian Parrott, a pro tennis organizer who helped bring a pair of Davis Cup events to Portland in the 1980s.[2]
Grand Slam results
Parrott participated in the 2008 French Open with Filip Polášek, losing in the first round to Michal Mertiňák and Jean-Claude Scherrer.
Parrott competed in doubles at the 2008 Wimbledon Championships, where he won his first round match with his partner Filip Polášek against sixth seeded Czech duo Pavel Vízner and Martin Damm. He and Polasek then defeated South African Rik de Voest and Polish player Łukasz Kubot. In the third round, they were defeated by Leander Paes and Lukáš Dlouhý.
Parrott was a surprise winner of the 2009 US Open mixed doubles event with Carly Gullickson, who had originally planned to team with Rajeev Ram. As wildcard entrants, this was the first time they'd ever played together.
