He has a career-high ATP ranking in doubles of World No. 33 achieved on 21 March 2022 and in singles of World No. 94 achieved on October 26, 2015.

Krajicek attended Texas A&M, where he lettered from 2008–11. He won the doubles title with Jeff Dadamo at the 2011 NCAA Division I Tennis Championships, which was the first national title in program history.

He was a four-time doubles All-American (2008–11), and a two-time singles All-American (2010 & 2011). Krajicek was the Big 12 Freshman of the Year, and in his junior and senior seasons was the Big 12 Player of the Year.

Professional career

Early years: 2012-2017

Prior to 2018 Krajicek competed mainly on the ITF Futures and ATP Challenger Tour, both in singles and doubles.

2018-2019: First ATP title, Top 50 debut and career high ranking in doubles

Krajicek reached the quarterfinals of the 2018 US Open doubles tournament partnering Tennys Sandgren, his best showing at a Grand Slam in doubles. He entered the top 50 in doubles reaching a career-high of No. 44 on October 22, 2018. He later reached the top 40 with a career-high of World No. 35 on May 27, 2019.

2020-2022: Maiden Grand Slam & Masters finals, Top 25 & Olympics debut, American No. 2

He reached the third round of the 2020 Australian Open partnering Franko Škugor and the pair also won the title at the 2020 Austrian Open in Kitzbühel.

Partnering Vasek Pospisil, he reached his tenth final at the 2021 Hall of Fame Open where he lost to fellow Americans Jack Sock and William Blumberg.

At the Olympics, he reached the semifinals partnering again with Tennys Sandgren where they lost to eventual champions Mate Pavic and Nikola Mektic. The pair lost subsequently in the bronze medal match to the New Zealand pair of Marcus Daniell and Michael Venus.

Partnering with Steve Johnson, he reached his first Masters 1000 final at the 2021 Western & Southern Open in Cincinnati defeating No. 3 seeded Colombian pair Juan Sebastián Cabal and Robert Farah in a tight three-set match. The pair last competed at the 2020 edition of the Cincinnati Masters where they reached the semifinals.

Partnering with Ivan Dodig they reached the final at the 2021 Winston-Salem Open and won the title at the 2022 ATP Lyon Open.

At the 2022 French Open he reached his first Grand Slam final in his career also partnering with Dodig defeating en route World No. 1 and No. 2 and top seeds Joe Salisbury and Rajeev Ram and saving five match points in the quarterfinals. As a result he made his debut in the top 25 and became the American No. 2 player after Rajeev Ram.
