Career[edit]
Sekulov was a boys' doubles finalist at the 1993 US Open, partnering Ben Ellwood.[2][3] He finished that year as the world's seventh-ranked junior singles player.[3]
The right-handed Australian made his senior Grand Slam debut in the 1998 US Open and lost in the opening round to Davide Sanguinetti.[3]
In 1999, Sekulov reached the semi-finals of the Mercedes-Benz Cup in Los Angeles.[3] To make the semi-finals, where he was beaten by Pete Sampras, Sekulov managed wins over Czech Martin Damm, world number 18 Thomas Enqvist and former French Open champion Michael Chang.[3]
He had a five-set win over Ivan Ljubicic at the 2000 Australian Open, in what would be his last Grand Slam appearance and only win.[3] Later that year, Sekulov defeated Roger Federer, then ranked 40th in the world, at the Indianapolis Tennis Championships.[3]
