Biography
Wilson is originally from the small farming town of Rai Valley in Marlborough. He and his brother would practice on a floodlit asphalt court their parents had installed on their property. In 1987 he went to Iowa State University and played collegiate tennis for three and a half years.[1]
He began playing professionally in the early 1990s and eventually specialised in doubles, in which he reached 160 in the world. His only main draw appearance as a singles player came at the 1994 Tel Aviv Open, where he made it through qualifying, before losing to Andrei Cherkasov in the first round.[2] He had his best year on the doubles circuit in 1995 when he won the Prostějov Challenger with Andrei Pavel and reached the quarter-finals at the ATP Auckland Open, which was one of four main draw appearances he made in that tournament.
In 1997 he represented New Zealand in a Davis Cup tie against Indonesia in Jakarta. Wilson, aged 29, debuted in the reverse singles, a dead rubber which he won in straight sets over Suwandi Suwandi.[3] This remained his only Davis Cup court appearance. From 2000 to 2003 he acted as non playing captain of New Zealand's Davis Cup team.[citation needed]
