Tour career overview

Kudla reached a career high combined junior ranking of World No.3. His best result was reaching the final of the 2010 U.S. Open for boys, where, despite taking the first set, he lost the final to Jack Sock.

Kudla reached the semi-finals of his second ever professional tour event, U.S.A. F15 ITF Futures event, held in New York in June 2008. He first played an ATP Tour main draw match six weeks later, in doubles at the 2008 Legg Mason Tennis Classic partnering fellow junior Junior A. Ore. The pair, a wild card entry, lost their first round match to Lucas Arnold Ker and Eduardo Schwank, 1-6, 1-6. Two years later, Kudla was given a wild card for the singles main draw of the 2010 Campbell's Hall of Fame Tennis Championships, and reached the second round.

Kudla has won one singles and two doubles Futures titles thus far in his career. His career high singles ranking is World No. 326, which he reached in August 2011. His high doubles ranking is World No. 345. His only World Tour doubles match win came in reaching the second round in doubles at the 2011 U.S. Men's Clay Court Championships, partnering Donald Young. Kudla is currently into the quarter-finals in singles at the 2011 Campbell's Hall of Fame Tennis Championships, having knocked off big-serving Ivo Karlovic in three sets and then No. 2 seed Grigor Dimitrov handily, 6-1, 6-4. Kudla lost to qualifier Michael Yani 3-6, 7-6(5), 5-7 in the Quarterfinals.

Kudla played his first Legg Mason Tennis Classic in Washington, D.C. losing in the first round to Tobias Kamke 4-6,2-6.
