He first became the country's top singles player, according to ATP rankings, on February 10, 2003, as an 18-year-old, and remained so from January 30, 2006, until June 20, 2010.[4] Dancevic has reached two ATP singles finals (Indianapolis and Eastbourne), the quarterfinals of the 2007 Montreal Masters and achieved a career-high singles ranking of world No. 65 in September 2007.

In August 2011, Dancevic became the first men's singles player, in one calendar year, to enter the main draw of all four Grand Slam tournaments by playing the qualifying competition for each event.[5]

He has been the captain of Canada's Davis Cup team since 2017.[6]
