Biography

Siegler, who grew up in California, made the boy's juniors final at the 1979 Wimbledon Championships, which he lost to India's Ramesh Krishnan.[1] He managed to qualify for the main draw of the 1979 US Open, but was unable to get past Keith Richardson in a first round match that went to five sets.

A valedictorian at Agoura High School, Siegler took up a full athletic scholarship to Stanford University in 1979 and the following year was a member of the Stanford team that won the NCAA Division One title.[2][3]

During the early 1980s, Siegler competed on the Grand Prix tennis circuit, with his best performance coming in Cleveland in 1981 when finished runner-up, after beating Stan Smith en route to the final.[4] He won two Challenger doubles titles, both with Robbie Venter.

In addition to his US Open appearance, Siegler made the main draw of three Australian Opens, in 1979, 1981 and 1982.[5][6][7]

He now works as a child neurologist in Tulsa, Oklahoma.[8]
