Styslinger grew up in the Birmingham suburb of Mountain Brook and trained at the IMG Bollettieri Academy in Florida. He is the son of tennis player Mark Styslinger, a two-time All-American for SMU who also achieved a world ranking.[1] [2]

A top-30 junior, Styslinger made the boys' singles quarter-finals of the 2011 Australian Open, beating Nick Kyrgios en route.
