Career

Larkham twice made the second round of a Grand Slam singles draw, both times as a qualifier. His first victory came against Ctislav Doseděl at the 1997 Wimbledon Championships, in four sets, after losing the first. In the 2003 Australian Open he defeated Cecil Mamiit to set up a second round meeting with tournament favourite Lleyton Hewitt. He was easily defeated by the top seeded Hewitt, only able to win two games for the match. It was the second time he faced the world number one at their home Grand Slam, having lost to Pete Sampras in the 1997 US Open.^[2]
