Jaymon Crabb (born 6 March 1978) is a former professional tennis player from Australia.[1]

He is the brother of Jaxon Crabb, who played for the West Coast Eagles and Port Adelaide in the Australian Football League.[2]

Career

Crabb was a semi-finalist in the boy's singles event at the 1996 Wimbledon Championships and was junior winner of the Queen's Club Championships that year.[3]

He made his first senior Grand Slam appearance in the 1997 Australian Open, where he was defeated in the opening round by Leander Paes.[3] In 2002 he returned to the Australian Open and although he again exited in the first round, he did manage to take a set off a previous finalist, Marcelo Rios.[3] The following year he beat countryman Andrew Ilie in four sets, to register his first win in the Australian Open.[3] He was eliminated from the tournament in the second round, by David Nalbandian.[3] In each of his three appearances at the event he also competed in the men's doubles, with different partners each time, Richard Fromberg, Todd Larkham and Peter Luczak.[3] He also twice played Grand Slam mixed doubles, at both the Australian Open and Wimbledon in 2003, partnering his future wife Bryanne Stewart.[3]
