Biography

Spinks, a right-handed player from Norfolk, was the highest ranked player to compete at the 1999 Wimbledon Championships, after receiving entry to the main draw as a wildcard. He lost in the first round to Switzerland's Lorenzo Manta in a two-hour and 42 minute long four-set match. Spinks came from 2–5 down to claim the first set in a tiebreak, then lost further tiebreaks in the next two sets, before the Swiss player took the fourth 6–2.[1]

As a doubles player, Spinks played in three editions of Wimbledon, with a best result the second round in 1996, with Ross Matheson.[2] He also appeared twice in the doubles at the Bournemouth International and once at the Nottingham Open. In 2000 he partnered with Martin Hromec to win the Kyoto Challenger.[3]
