Early life

From Ealing, West London, he attended St Benedict’s School. From the age of eight he was coached by Jo Durie’s former coach Alan Jones and later his son Ryan Jones, and joined a tennis academy based at Chiswick and Northwood in Middlesex, run by David Felgate, where he was a regular practice partner of Jack Draper.

Career

Loffhagen competed in the boys' singles events in 2017 at Wimbledon and the US Open, reaching the third round in both.

He became the first male tennis player born in 2001 to reach a professional final in May 2018, at an F1 Futures event in Uganda.

Loffhagen stepped away from tennis for a time saying that he "wasn’t enjoying it at that time" and "wanted to do something else. I worked in a pub, studied a bit, went to university… and then I played a couple of tournaments and enjoyed it again. I didn’t want to have regrets—so I decided to start again".

In April 2023, he won the ITF M25 Mysuru Open in India, defeating Australian Blake Ellis in the final. In May 2023, he won an M25 tournament held in Nottingham, for his second career title at that level in as many months.

He backed that win up with a victory over higher-ranked Shang Juncheng in the next round to make the quarterfinals in Nottingham. At No. 176 in the world, Juncheng started the match 238 places higher than Loffhagen.

He was awarded a wildcard for his Grand Slam tournament main-draw debut at the 2023 Wimbledon Championships, where he lost out to Holger Rune in straight sets in the first round. At the 2025 Wimbledon Championships, he was again given a wildcard into the main-draw where but lost to Pedro Martinez in four sets in the first round.
