I was very close to being signed to train with Nick when I was 15 (summer of 1983). Long story short I did not choose that route for various reasons and well...

True story I played h.s. tennis with David Wheaton. He was 2 years young than me and won state when he was in 9th grade. That year I actually beat him in straight sets in a local tournament but because baseball was my summer jam I never was committed enough to trying to become a tennis star and well...

FYI Wheaton per wiki:

Juniors

In 1987, Wheaton won the US Open junior title and was the No. 1 ranked junior player in the US. In 1988, he helped Stanford University's tennis team win the NCAA team title and received the Block S Award as the most outstanding freshman athlete at Stanford.

Pro tour

Wheaton turned professional on July 4, 1988 and won his first top-level singles title in 1990 at the U.S. Clay Court Championships in Kiawah Island, South Carolina. He was also runner-up in the 1990 US Open men's doubles (with Paul Annacone).

The most significant highlights of his career came in 1991. He won the Grand Slam Cup in Munich, beating Michael Chang in straight sets in the final 7–5, 6–2, 6–4. He also reached the semifinals of singles at Wimbledon (beating Petr Korda, C?dric Pioline, Ivan Lendl, Jan Gunnarsson and Andre Agassi in the quarterfinals before being knocked-out by Boris Becker), and was a men's doubles runner-up at the Australian Open (partnering with his former Stanford teammate Patrick McEnroe). Wheaton reached his career-high singles ranking of world No. 12 in July 1991.

During his career, Wheaton won three top-level singles and three doubles titles, representing the US in Davis Cup (v. Australia, 1993) reached the semifinals or better in either singles or doubles of every Grand Slam tournament, and defeated highly ranked players such as Andre Agassi, Jimmy Connors, Ivan Lendl, Stefan Edberg, Jim Courier, and Michael Chang.

FYI he's a massive douche.
 
He's been pretty critical of them. posting a lot of stories about the migrant workers.

This is bad.

Deepest sympathies to the family.

Yup he just posted one like yesterday or the day before.

He was live tweeting at the NED-ARG game up to the late Netherlands equalizer.

His wife is a medical doctor and infectious disease expert and was a member of the COVID-19 Advisory Board for President Biden, if the Qataris had a hand in this they fucked up big time.
