Career

He had four match points, but was unable to convert any of them and lost in a third set tie break. [1] Just weeks later, Weiner upset world number 36 Thomas Johansson at Indianapolis.

In 2001 he was runner-up in the doubles at Newport, with André Sá. He also made the quarterfinals of the Heineken Open singles that year. [2]
