Sock was born in Lincoln, Nebraska, in 1992 and moved to Kansas at 11, where he went unbeaten through four years of high school tennis. He won the US Open boys' title in 2010 and the US Open mixed doubles with Melanie Oudin in 2011.
In 2014 he won Wimbledon with Vasek Pospisil in their first tournament together. In 2016 he won Olympic gold in the mixed doubles with Bethanie Mattek-Sands and bronze in the men's doubles with Steve Johnson, and in 2017 he won the Paris Masters and rose to No. 8 in singles. In 2018, with Mike Bryan standing in for his injured brother Bob, he won Wimbledon, the US Open and the ATP Finals, and reached No. 2 in doubles.
Injuries took him out of the game for long spells. He came back to win the Newport doubles as a wildcard with William Blumberg in 2021 and reached the third round of the Wimbledon singles as a qualifier in 2022. He retired after the 2023 US Open and turned to professional pickleball.

Wimbledon 2014
Sock and Pospisil made Wimbledon 2014 their first tournament as a team and won it, beating the Bryans in a five-set final. At 21 Sock became the third-youngest man in the Open Era to hold both a Grand Slam doubles and a Grand Slam mixed title, after John McEnroe and Todd Woodbridge.

After a singles win in 2017 Sock threw his towel to a 14-year-old American fan, Peter Woodville, and an adult spectator pulled it out of the boy's hands. The clip spread online; when Peter came back three days later, after queueing for more than five hours, Sock recognised him, apologised and gave him another towel.

Mike Bryan played Wimbledon 2018 with Sock because his brother Bob was recovering from a hip injury. In the final Bryan was foot-faulted on a second serve to lose the fourth set, then served out the match after Sock's pass broke Klaasen at 5-5 in the fifth.
