About

Martin Wostenholme competed on the ATP World Tour for several years and managed to break into the Top 100 and achieve a career-high ranking of No. 84 in the world on November 11, 1985.
He received a tennis scholarship to Yale University which he attended from 1981-1984. During his time as a collegiate player, he was a four-time All-Ivy Leaguer in singles play.
Wostenholme developed great skill on clay, something rare for Canadians. He was a semifinalist at the Guaruja, Brazil Grand Prix event in 1988 and 1991 and was a semifinalist in the Rio de Janeiro Grand Prix event in 1990.
It seemed as if Wostenholme was always given a tough draw. His first Grand Slam appearance was at the 1985 US Open when he got past the first round, but fell to John McEnroe in the second round. A year later, in 1986 he made it to the second round of both the French Open and Wimbledon.
He advanced to the second round of the Australian Open in 1990, where he fell to Mats Wilander of Sweden. A few months later he competed at the French Open, this time he lost in the first round to American star Andre Agassi in four sets.
Wostenholme was the first Canadian to win a match at each of the four Grand Slam events.
Wostenholme was a Davis Cup member from 1980-1992, having reached the illustrious World Group in his final year. He posted an overall win-loss record of 12-8 in singles play.
Wanting to continue to grow tennis in the country, Wostenholme became a member of the board of directors for Tennis Canada and was named chair of the Tennis Development Committee in 2010.

  1. Hello! I’d like to bring to your attention that after recent updates to the site, the player search has become less efficient. Specifically:

    1. A single search now returns no more than 30 results.
    2. The alphabetical order of the results is gone.
    3. As far as I understand, it’s now impossible to find a player by two or three letters, while three-letter last names are very common (for example, Lee, Dod, etc.; Tommy Ho can only be found by his full name).
    4. It’s also impossible to find a player by their last name and first initial if they also have a middle initial. E.g., searching for “A. White” returns results like “A. White” and “T.A. White,” but not “A.G. White”. This was previously the exact opposite, and it would be great to combine the previous and current options so that the same search for “A. White” would return all three results.
    5. Results now also include last names/first names that contain last names/first names from the search. E.g., the query “Bell” returns results like “Campbell,” while the query “Clint” returns results like “McClintock.” This is debatable, as it could, on the other hand, find players with double last names or players with last names close to the ones you search (like “Carroll” – “O’Carroll”). However, it’s probably better to eliminate cases like the second example, where a word in the query is the middle of the returned result. Because if someone searches for a player using the query “Clint,” a player with the last name “McClintock” is unlikely to be relevant and would clutter the results.

    I hope these issues are resolved, as I believe this would help many site users. Thanks in advance!

  2. Regarding point 4, I’d like to add that a similar problem exists with full names. For example, Reginald Arthur Gamble can be found by searching for “Arthur Gamble,” but not “Reginald Gamble.”
