Demon pushes Aussie tennis to incredible 26-year high

Although they were perfectly in-sync when on the court, it's still a little spooky both Woodies reached a career-high singles ranking of No.19.

As they were in doubles, it was on grass Woodbridge was most dangerous, and it was at Wimbledon where he achieved most of his singles career highlights.

He's one of only seven people to beat Pete Sampras at the All-England club, and is also one of only 17 players to inflict a triple bagel defeat in the open era. He beat swede Johan Örtegren 6-0, 6-0, 6-0 in the final round of qualifying in 2001.

He also made a semi-final appearance in 1997, but lost in straight-sets to Sampras, who went on to win.

That semi-final lifted him to his career-high No.19.

Woodbridge is one of Nine's leading tennis analysts and sports broadcasters.
