Tennis career

2017

He won threeATP Challengerdoubles titles, at theInternazionali dell'Umbria,Gwangju OpenandKobe Challenger.

He was selected in theJapan Davis Cup teamin September, being Japan's top-ranked doubles player at that time.

In October, he caused a surprise by winning theJapan Open,his firstATPWorld Tour event. He and his partnerYasutaka UchiyamabeatJean-Julien RojerandHoria Tecău,the world's third-ranked pair, in the quarterfinals and thenJamie MurrayandBruno Soares,the fourth-ranked pair, in the final.

2018

McLachlan played his first Grand Slam tournament at theAustralian Open,partnering GermanJan-Lennard Struffto reach the semifinals after defeating the top-seeded and world No. 1 pair ofŁukasz KubotandMarcelo Melo.In the semifinals they lost to the seventh-seeded team ofOliver MarachandMate Pavić,who went on to win the tournament.

McLachlan then teamed withHugo Nysto reach the finals inMontpellier,where they lost to English brothersKenandNeal Skupski.They lost in the semifinals of theDelray Beach Opento the eventual winnersJack SockandJackson Withrow.After first-round losses at Acapulco (partnered byNicholas Monroe) andIndian Wells,and a second-round loss in theIrving Classic(the latter two withJulio Peralta), he and Struff teamed up for the first time since the Australian Open to contest theMiami Open.After good wins in the first three rounds, they came up against theBryan brothersin the semi-finals, and lost to the eventual winners 5–7, 4–6. He then travelled to Houston for theU.S. Clay Court Championships,where he partneredRyan Harrisonfor the first time. In a major upset, they lost to the wildcard pair ofDustin BrownandFrances Tiafoein the first round.

From there it was across to Europe, and theMonte Carlo Masters.Yet another new partner (Santiago González) awaited him, and they went out in the first round to a wildcard pair in localRomain Arneodoand McLachlan's former partner inHugo Nys.Reunited withStrufffor theHungarian Open,they won their first two matches comfortably before being beaten in three tie-breaks in their semifinal againstAndrés MolteniandMatwé Middelkoop.McLachlan went on toIstanbulfor his next tournament, partnered again byMonroe,and they were the top seeds. They went all the way to the final, losing in a match tie-break after taking the first set. InMadridthey beatJohn IsnerandJack Sockin the first round andIvan DodigandRajeev Ramin the second, before losing toPierre-Hugues HerbertandNicolas Mahutin the quarter-finals.

McLachlan's last stop before the French Open was inLyon,where he paired up withMarcin Matkowskifor the first time, losing in the first round in a match tie-break. Reunited with Struff atRoland Garros,the pair suffered a surprise defeat at the hands ofMarcelo ArévaloandJamie Cerretaniin the first round, losing in three sets. He also played mixed doubles for the first time, his partner beingMakoto Ninomiya,but they lost in the first round to second seedsLatisha ChanandIvan Dodig.Ninomiya would go on to be runner-up in thewomen's doubleswithEri Hozumi.

For their first grass-court tournament together, McLachlan and Struff went toStuttgart,where they lost in the first round. They changed partners so that Struff would have a fellow German with him atHalle,and McLachlan teamed up with Japanese No. 1Kei Nishikori,a very infrequent doubles player. It was not an auspicious start, as they were beaten in straight sets byMarcel GranollersandRobin Haase.McLachlan's last tournament before Wimbledon was atEastbournewhere, teaming up again with Matkowski, they suffered the same result as in Lyon – a first round loss.

AtWimbledonMcLachlan and Struff dropped only one set in their first three matches on the way through to the quarter-finals. They lost there in four sets, the three which went against them all being tie-breaks, toFrederik NielsenandJoe Salisbury.Even with that defeat, they remained the only pair in the whole competition not to have lost a service game. In themixed doublesMcLachlan teamed up withEri Hozumi.As 14th seeds they had a bye in the first round, then had a walkover in the second, before losing to fourth seedsJean-Julien RojerandDemi Schuurs.

McLachlan and Struff then moved on to the German Open, where they lost in the semifinals toJulio PeraltaandHoracio Zeballos,and McLachlan then went toWashington,where he andIvan Dodighad a superb win overŁukasz KubotandMarcelo Meloin the first round, before losing in a big upset toDenis KudlaandFrances Tiafoein their quarterfinal. It was the second time, following Houston in February, that Tiafoe had inflicted a defeat on McLachlan.

The two North American Masters 1000 events, inTorontoandCincinnati,saw McLachlan team up withMatwé Middelkoop.In Toronto, they lost in the second round toJean-Julien RojerandHoria Tecău,the latter playing his first tournament in several months after an injury break. Cincinnati also saw a second round defeat, this time to ColombiansJuan Sebastián CabalandRobert Farah.

In his last tournament before the US Open, McLachlan resumed his partnership with Struff atWinston-Salem,but they were knocked out in the first round by eventual runners-up Jamie Cerretani andLeander Paes.In the year's final major event, he and Struff were the 12th seeds in the men's doubles, but were knocked out in the first round by the Italian pair ofMatteo BerrettiniandAndreas Seppi.In the mixed doubles McLachlan resumed his partnership with Makoto Ninomiya, but they lost in the first round to the eventual runners-up,Alicja RosolskaandNikola Mektić.

The next event for McLachlan was theDavis Cuptie in Osaka against Bosnia/Herzegovina where, reunited withYasutaka Uchiyama,they beatTomislav BrkićandNerman Fatićin straight sets to seal victory for Japan.

At the end of September, McLachlan won his second title on the ATP Tour at theShenzhen Open,partneringJoe Salisbury.A week later he successfully defended his Japan Open crown in Tokyo, but this time with regular partner Jan-Lennard Struff, beatingRaven KlaasenandMichael Venusin the final.They then lost in the first round of theEuropean Openin Antwerp, beaten 13–11 in a match tie-break byMáximo GonzálezandNicolás Jarry,and McLachlan finished his season when he and Struff went out in the first round of theParis Masters,beaten 6–3, 6–4, byDominic InglotandFranko Škugor.

2019

McLachlan and Struff started the new year inBrisbane,where they easily won their first match, but suffered a big upset defeat in the quarterfinals. From there they headed toAuckland,where they beatŁukasz KubotandHoracio Zeballosin the first round,Marcus DaniellandWesley Koolhofin the quarterfinals and the top seedsOliver MarachandMate Pavićin the semi-final, requiring two tie-breaks in all three matches. In the final they were up againstRaven KlaasenandMichael Venus,and took the first set 6–3. Down 2–4 in the second set, they won four games in a row to take the match and the title. They lost in a tight third set tie-break toRadu AlbotandMalek Jaziriin the first round of theAustralian Open.Reunited withYasutaka Uchiyamafor theDavis Cuptie against China, they lost toGong Mao-xinandZhang Zein three sets, although Japan won the tie 3–2 to qualify for thefinalsinMadridin November. McLachlan and Struff then lost in the first round atRotterdam.

McLachlan changed partners for theOpen 13inMarseilleas Struff didn't attend, teaming up withMatwé Middelkoopto go all the way to the final, where they lost in a match tie-break toJérémy ChardyandFabrice Martin.Dubaiwas the next stop where, reunited with Struff, he again lost in a final, this time toRajeev RamandJoe Salisbury.They had their revenge on that pair in their very next match, in the first round atIndian Wells,but it was Venus and Klaasen's turn for revenge in the second round, winning 6–4, 7–6⁽⁴⁾.Struff elected to play singles only inMiami,so McLachlan joined forces withNeal Skupski.They lost in the first round toRadu AlbotandNikoloz Basilashvili.

McLachlan at the2019 French Open

More first round losses followed over the next three months, the streak reaching eight with his and Struff's exit fromRoland-Garros,where they had been seeded 15th, at the hands of eventual runners-upJérémy ChardyandFabrice Martin.He also played mixed doubles at theFrench Open,teaming up again with his partner fromWimbledon,Eri Hozumi,but they lost in a first round match tie-break toMaría José Martínez Sánchezand Neal Skupski.

He broke the losing streak in resounding fashion by winning theSurbiton TrophywithMarcel Granollersto start the grass season in style. Back with Struff in Germany, they lost toŁukasz KubotandMarcelo Meloin the semifinals atHallebefore McLachlan headed toEastbournewhere, this time withFreddie Nielsen,they lost toFabrice MartinandÉdouard Roger-Vasselinin the quarterfinals. Then it was on toWimbledon,where McLachlan and Struff met Kubot and Melo, now the top seeds, in the first round. It was their third match in two months, with the same result as the others, but it was a really high-class encounter over four sets, lasting just under three hours. McLachlan's poor results inmixed doublescontinued, as he andMiyu Katolost in the first round toHsieh Su-weiandHsieh Cheng-peng.

McLachlan had a new partner for his next three tournaments in the US, teaming up with AustralianJohn-Patrick Smith.They lost in the semifinals atNewporttoMarcelo ArévaloandMiguel Ángel Reyes-Varela,in the quarterfinals inAtlantaand in the first round atLos Cabos.McLachlan's next tournament was inVancouver,where he started a partnership withLuke Bambridgethat has continued for every non-Japanese team match since. They won their first match, but lost the quarterfinal toTreat HueyandAdil Shamasdinin two titanic tie-breaks, 7–5, 6–7⁽¹¹⁾,12–14.

They also lost in the quarterfinals at bothWinston-Salemand theUS Open,the latter to top seeds and defending championsJuan Sebastián CabalandRobert Farah.Their next tournament was inMetz,where they lost to eventual champions Struff andRobert Lindstedtin the first round. Again they were on the wrong end of a huge tie-break, losing 4–6, 6–7⁽¹⁵⁾on Struff and Lindstedt's fifth match point. A run of first and second round losses continued for the next month, their last event together for 2019 being inVienna,where they had to qualify before eventually losing in the quarterfinals toRajeev RamandJoe Salisbury,the latter going on to defend the title he had won the previous year withNeal Skupski.

McLachlan's last event of the 2019 season was theDavis Cup finalsinMadrid,where he was reunited withYasutaka Uchiyamato representJapan.They lost two very close matches, beaten 6–7⁽⁴⁾,6–4, 7–5 by theFrenchpair ofPierre-Hugues HerbertandNicolas Mahut,and 7–6⁽⁵⁾,7–6⁽⁴⁾byJanko TipsarevićandViktor TroickiofSerbia.

2020

With just a month's break after the Davis Cup, McLachlan resumed his career in the2020 ATP CupinPerth.Japan was eliminated in the round-robin phase, McLachlan's contributions being a win over Uruguay and a loss to Georgia withToshihide Matsui,and a loss withGo SoedatoPablo Carreño BustaandRafael Nadalof Spain, the eventual group and tournament winners.

McLachlan and Bambridge made a winning start to the year inAuckland,taking their first title together by defeatingMarcus DaniellandPhilipp Oswaldin the final. That form didn't continue in theAustralian Open,where they lost in the first round to 10th seedsMate PavićandBruno Soares.They also lost early in two events in the United States before going all the way to the final inDelray Beach,where they lost toBobandMike Bryanin a match tie-break.Acapulcosaw another first-round loss, this time to top seeds Cabal and Farah.

McLachlan had only one more match before the COVID-19 coronavirus halted tennis. This was aDavis Cupmatch againstEcuadorinMiki,where he and Uchiyama were beaten byGonzalo EscobarandDiego Hidalgo.Ecuador won the tie 3–0 to qualify for the finals in Madrid in November (but which were subsequently postponed), with Japan returning toWorld Group I,where they are scheduled to eventually play away toPakistan.

McLachlan and Bambridge had a mixture of first and second-round losses once the tour resumed in September, including a bad first-round loss in theUS Open,their first tournament back. They ended their partnership after losing in the first round at theFrench OpentoWesley KoolhofandNikola Mektić,the runners-up in the US Open. McLachlan andFranko Škugorreached the semifinals inSt Petersburg,losing to eventual championsJürgen MelzerandÉdouard Roger-Vasselin.
