Hutchins was one of Britain's highest ranked doubles players, alongside Jamie Murray, Colin Fleming and Ken Skupski.[citation needed]

Hutchins was diagnosed with Hodgkin's lymphoma in late 2012,[3] which was treated and went into remission by July 2013.[4] At the point of his diagnosis he was the British No. 3 and ranked No. 28 in the world in doubles; however, after missing the entire 2013 season, Hutchins dropped out of the ATP singles rankings. Hutchins returned to action for the start of the 2014 season.[5]

In September 2014, Hutchins left his role as tournament director to take up a new position as the ATP's vice-president of player relations.
