Career
15 in October 1993.
Masur began playing tennis at the age of eight. Juniors
Pro tour
Masur turned professional in 1982. He was an Australian Institute of Sport scholarship holder.
He also reached quarter-finals of that year"s Australian Open, before being knocked out by John McEnroe.
However he was left out of the team that played the United States in the final by captain Neale Fraser. The decision to leave Masur out of the final was fairly controversial at the time given the very significant role that he had played in getting Australia there, but was principally because the final was to be played on clay courts, which was not Masur"s best surface.
The United States beat Australia 3–2 in the final. 1993 was possibly the best year of Masur"s career.
He reached the semi-finals of that year"s United States Open, where he lost to Cédric Pioline.
He also reached his career-high rankings in both singles (World Number 15) and doubles (World Number 8) that year. He captured doubles titles in Milan and Stuttgart that year, which proved to be the final top-level titles of his career. His career prize-money totalled $3,134,718.
Post playing
He will in turn be succeeded by Lleyton Hewitt in 2016.
Singles: 11 (3 titles – 8 runners-up)
Doubles: 24 (16 titles – 8 runners-up).
