Grand Slam career

[edit]

Guan made his first appearance in the main singles draw of a Grand Slam at the 1981 Australian Open, where he lost in the opening round to Pat Du Pré, in five sets.[2] He was also beaten in the first round of the 1982 French Open, by Juan Avendaño, but made the men's doubles quarter-finals, with Derek Tarr as his partner.[2] This equaled his best Grand Slam performance, as he also reached the quarter-finals in the doubles at the 1980 Australian Open, partnering Ernie Ewart.[2] His best singles effort came when he made the third round at the 1982 Australian Open.[2]

Grand Prix tour

[edit]

On the Grand Prix tennis circuit, Guan made one doubles final, at the 1979 Australian Hard Court Tennis Championships with Phil Davies.[2] They lost to John James and Chris Kachel.[2] He was a singles quarter-finalist at Brisbane's South Pacific Tennis Classic in 1981.[2]

Challenger circuit

[edit]

At an ATP Challenger tournament in Perth in 1982, Guan had a win over John Fitzgerald.[2] He won five Challenger doubles titles during his career.[2]
