Biography

A left-handed player from Rochester, New York, Nealon played collegiate tennis at the University of Southern California, while studying for a degree in business administration.

In the singles he came up against ninth seed Peter Fleming in the first round and was beaten in four sets.[1] His career was hampered by a knee injury, which required surgery in 1982 and kept him off the tour until 1984.[2] Reaching a ranking of 156 in doubles, he was a doubles quarter-finalist at Geneva in 1984 and finished runner-up in the doubles at the 1985 Thessaloniki Challenger.

He is a member of the Rochester Tennis Hall of Fame and still lives in the area, working as a tennis coach.[3]
