'''Clyde Alexander Samson''' is an American {{wp|tennis}} player. A former world No. 1 junior, he made it to three separate junior {{wp|Grand Slam (tennis)|Grand Slam}} singles finals in the span of two years, falling short in all of them. In addition to his junior success in singles, he won the {{wp|Wimbledon Championships|Wimbledon Junior Doubles Championships}} in 2018 with his partner, {{wp|Dimitri Kuznetsov}}, a previous world No. 1 junior in his own right.
Following his appearance at the {{wp|2018 Australian Open - boys' singles|2018 Australian Open}} final, Samson was on top of the ITF Junior rankings. From 29 January 2018 to 25 June 2018, he held on to the position, falling to No. 2 after only advancing to the third round of the {{wp|2018 French Open - boys' singles|2018 French Open}}, being passed by {{wp|Daniel Carr}}. He regained No. 1 status on 16 July 2018, after advancing to the final of the {{wp|2018 Wimbledon Championships - boys' singles|2018 Wimbledon Championships}}. He lost in the final to junior breakout John Reid in straight sets. Samson held on to the ranking through his decision to turn professional in July 2019.
On 1 July 2019, following the {{wp|2019 Wimbledon Championships}}, where Samson made it to the QF in junior singles, and the SF in junior doubles, he decided to turn professional, following the pressure from his peers. Immediately, Samson signed a racket contract with {{wp|Babolat}}, and clothes deals with {{wp|Adidas}}.
A promising junior, Samson caught the attention of many professional coaches, and signed with 3-time Grand Slam champion {{wp|Andy Murray}} in 2015, who has coached Samson through his full tenure as world No. 1, one junior Grand Slam title, and all three finals appearances.
==Early life and background==
Samson was born on 16 June 2002, to Laura and Joe Samson, two British politicians. Joe Samson served as the {{wp|Home Secretary}} under {{wp|Prime Minister Margaret Thatcher}}. Samson has one younger brother, Chris, who is also a British politician, and serves in the {{wp|British Parliament}}. Samson spent the first nine years of his life in {{wp|Liverpool}}, before moving to the outskirts of {{wp|London}}. In 2018, Samson spoke about the move that he described as "life-changing", which is credited to introducing him to the game of tennis. A late-starter, Samson first competed in a junior tennis event at the age of 10, the 2012 {{wp|USTA}} Hard Court Nationals 10-and-under event, where he finished as the runner-up. His father, a strong tennis player regionally, coached Samson until the age of 13.
==Junior Career==
At the age of 11, Samson made his first {{Wp|Grand Slam}} appearance at the {{wp|2013 Australian Open – Boys' Singles|2013 Australian Open}} Boys' qualifying event, where he fell in the first round to 17-year old {{wp|Lo Chi Zhang}}.
The USTA granted Samson a wildcard into the {{wp|2014 US Open – Boys' Singles|2014 US Open}} Boys' qualifier, at the age of 12. He won the first around against American {{wp|Carl Edenberg}} 7-6<sup>(7-3)</sup>, 6-2.
