Career

2014–2017: Professional debut

Ellis made his senior debut in October 2014 at the Australia F7, where he lost in round 1. Between 2015 and 2017, Ellis competed in the ITF Men's Circuit around Australia, Asia, and Europe, with his best result in that time period being a semi-final appearance in the August 2017 Thailand F6 Futures tournament in Nonthaburi.

In October 2017, Ellis won his first Challenger match against Austrian Lucas Mielder in the Canberra International.^[3]

2018

At the 2018 Shimadzu All Japan Indoor Tennis Championships, Ellis had his best Challenger-level performance to date, winning his qualifying matches and then defeating two previous tournament champions in 5th seed Tatsuma Ito and 3rd seed Go Soeda en route to a semi-final loss against fellow Australian and eventual champion John Millman.

In October 2021, Ellis won his fifth ITF doubles title and third for the season.^[4]
