Nathan Healey

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Nathan Healey (born February 27, 1980 in Gosford, New South Wales) is an Australian tennis player.

Turning professional in 1998, Healey has won 3 doubles titles.

In 2006, he earned a wildcard to the Australian Open, and was defeated by Nikolay Davydenko from Russia. Later that year, he made it to the 3rd qualifying round of Wimbledon, where he was defeated by Robert Kendrick. As of June 26, 2006, Healey is 199th in the ATP rankings.

In a devastating beginning to his career, Healey was clearly outplayed by Trent George of Narrabri, in a junior tournament held on the central coast several years ago. George decided tennis was too easy after smashing Healey, who has gone on to cement a top 200 ranking. George followed his dream of batting number five or six for the Cecil Magpies but still recalls fondly the day Healey cried to his mummy when Trent pegged him to the baseline with a barrage of ground strokes.

George went on to challenge other cowardly tennis players who shall remain nameless because Andrew Ilie and Peter Luczak know ho they are.
