Biography
Born in Portsmouth, Baily is originally from Curbridge, a village in Hampshire.[1]
At the 1993 Australian Open, a day before his 18th birthday, Baily defeated New Zealander Steven Downs in the boys' singles final. This made him the first British player in 28 years to win a junior grand slam title, since Gerald Battrick in 1965.[2]
Bailey, who was coached by Steve Shaw, couldn't make the transition to professional tennis and appeared only in satellite tournaments, before retiring in 1994.[3]
