Career

Cox played collegiate tennis while at Auburn University.[1]

He competed in the singles draw of a Grand Slam three times, but was unable to progress past the first round.[2] In doubles he fared better, making the third round of the 1985 Wimbledon Championships and 1987 US Open.[2] He was a mixed doubles quarter-finalist at the 1984 French Open, with Wendy Prausa.[3]

On the Grand Prix tour he had his best performance in 1987 when he won the doubles title at Saint-Vincent (partnering Michael Fancutt).[2] It was his third Grand Prix final, having been runner-up at the same event the previous year and at Columbus in 1984.[2] His best showing in a singles draw came at the 1987 Grand Prix de Tennis de Lyon, where he defeated world number 19 Thierry Tulasne en route to the quarter-finals.[2]
