Former tennis pro Peter Doohan, who created one of the biggest shocks in Wimbledon history in 1987, has died at the age of 56.
The Australian passed away on Friday, just nine weeks after being diagnosed with an aggressive form of motor neurone disease, known as Lou Gehrig's disease.
Doohan is best known for beating Boris Becker at SW19 in 1987 when the 19-year-old German was aiming for a hat-trick of Wimbledon singles titles.
Meeting in the second round on July 1st, on the old No 1 Court, Doohan won 7-6 4-6 6-2 6-4.
The New South Wales star went on to reach the last 16 where he was beaten by the big-serving Yugoslavian Slobodan Zivojinovic.
Doohan won one title on the ATP Tour, reached a career-high singles ranking of 43, and lost in the final of the men's doubles at the Australian Championships of 1987.
The year he beat two-time defending champion Becker on grass, he had started the season ranked outside the top 300 and arrived at Wimbledon as the world No 70.
Becker posted a photograph of both he and Doohan on Twitter, and said: "RIP mate! You were the better player.
"My heartfelt condolences to the family of #PeterDoohan ! The tennis fraternity lost a great guy and wonderful player!"
A statement from Tennis Australia read: "The tennis family is deeply saddened by the news of the passing of Peter Doohan and our thoughts and prayers are with his family and friends."
