Wesley Moodie

Early life and college career

Played Steve Combes in a friendly tennis match with Brett Schreiner and Lee Schreiner back in 1990 in Kloof South Africa.

He began to play tennis at an early age and won the South African Junior Masters tournament in February 1996.

Moodie played college tennis in the United States from January 1997 until May 2000, originally for Auburn University at Montgomery (AUM), and then from September 1998 at Boise State (BSU). He turned professional in June 2000.

Professional career

Moodie first came to public notice when he reached the 3rd round at Wimbledon in 2003, losing to Sébastien Grosjean, whom he beat in the USA later that year. Moodie won his first top-flight tour singles event in capturing the 2005 Japan Open, beating #5 seed Mario Ančić in the final 1–6, 7–6, 6–4 after saving two match points in the tie-break (he also saved four match points in the semifinal against Jarkko Nieminen).

Along with Stephen Huss, who formerly played college tennis for the Auburn Tigers, he became the first qualifier to win the Wimbledon men's doubles championship in 2005, beating the #6, 9, 3, 1 & 2 seeds in the process.

Wesley Moodie joined the Monte Carlo Tennis Academy on 9 June 2007.^[1]
