Career

Green spent his collegiate tennis years with Boston University, with a brief stint at the University of Texas. He was a Boston University MVP on three occasions and also served as team captain. [2]

Beginning the 1984 season ranked outside the world's top 300, Green would finish the year ranked 39th and win the ATP Newcomer of the Year Award. [3] His most noted performance came in the 1984 US Open, where he was the only qualifier to reach the round of 16. [3] En route he had a win over 11th seed Juan Aguilera and when he was eliminated it was to the eventual champion, John McEnroe. [3] In 1984 he also made the semi-finals in Tel Aviv and was a quarter-finalist in Livingston, Hong Kong and Johannesburg. [3]

He was never able to replicate the consistent results he had in 1984 but he did make the semi-finals at San Francisco in 1985, beating world number 14 Eliot Teltscher along the way. [3] The following year he reached quarter-finals in Toronto, Milan and Bristol. [3] His only career title also came in 1986, which was in the men's doubles at the Livingston Open, partnering Wally Masur. [3]
