Junior career

With new partner Brad Sceney, Doyle won the doubles again in the 1992 Australian Open and was also the singles champion, dropping just two games in his defeat of Brian Dunn in the final. He was a doubles winner at the 1992 French Open, partnering Mexican Enrique Abaroa and won the singles title in that year's Queen's Junior Championships.^[2]

Doyle made eight main draw appearances in singles at Grand Slam level.^[3] Although he didn't ever proceed past the first round, he came close when he lost 5–7 in the fifth set to Wayne Black at the 1995 Australian Open and also in another five-set loss at the 1996 French Open, to Greg Rusedski, with the same fifth set score.^[3]

Every year from 1991 to 1999, Doyle appeared in the men's doubles at the Australian Open.^[3] He twice reached the round of 16, with Eagle in 1992 and later partnering Ben Ellwood in the 1999 Australian Open.^[3] His run with Ellwood included a win over 12th seeds Donald Johnson and Francisco Montana.^[3]
