As a singles player he reached the quarter-finals at Auckland in 1986 and the following year won the Enugu Challenger tournament in Nigeria.[3] He came close to upsetting Pat Cash at the 1987 WCT Tournament of Champions.[4] He was 5–2 up in the third and deciding set before the Australian came back to win by claiming the final five games.[5]
