Wesley Whitehouse (born March 13, 1979 in Durban , South Africa ) is a former South African- New Zealand tennis player .
Career
In his time as a youth player, Whitehouse was seen as the great hope of South African tennis after winning the 1997 singles title at Wimbledon and also reaching the finals of the French Open and the US Open .
Whitehouse mainly plays on the Future Tour and the ATP Challenger Tour . On the former he has so far won eight singles titles and 13 doubles titles. He also won six doubles titles on the Challenger Tour, which he also specializes in. In 1998 Whitehouse made his debut on the ATP World Tour at ATP Chennai in singles and doubles. A year later he came in doubles at the Wimbledon Championships for his only appearance at a Grand Slam tournament , where he advanced to the round of 16. After several injuries that kept throwing him back, doctors advised him to stop playing tennis in 2007.
Since then, Whitehouse has only played sporadically at tournaments in his home country in South Africa, New Zealand and the United States . Most recently in 2015 and 2016 in Auckland , where he and his partner Finn Tearney were eliminated in the first round. He mainly works as a coach at the West Harbor Tennis Club in Auckland .
