'''David Wheaton''' (born June 2, 1969) is an American author, radio host, columnist, and former professional [[tennis player]].

==Personal==
Born in [[Minneapolis]] as the youngest of four children. During his tennis career, he dated tennis star [[Mary Joe Fernández]] around 1990-1992. Wheaton married in 2009 and has one son.

==Tennis career==
Wheaton started tennis at age four, played in his first tournament at eight, won the Minnesota State High School tennis title in 1984 as a freshman, trained at the [[Nick Bollettieri Tennis Academy]] for his last two-and-a-half years of high school, played one year at Stanford, and then competed for 13 years on the professional tour.

===Juniors===
In 1987, Wheaton won the [[US Open (tennis)|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 [[National Collegiate Athletic Association|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 (tennis)|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 [[The Championships, Wimbledon|Wimbledon]] (beating [[Petr Korda]], [[Cédric 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.

He retired from the professional tour in 2001, following a series of injuries. Since then he has played in some senior tour events, winning the "Wimbledon Over 35 Doubles" championship in 2004 (with T.J. Middleton).

In 2002, Wheaton embarked a new career in radio, writing, and speaking. He is the producer and host of The Christian Worldview, a live talk radio program that airs on 250 stations in the US. He is a tennis columnist for the ''[[Minneapolis Star-Tribune]]'' and the author of two books, ''University of Destruction: Your Game Plan for Spiritual Victory on Campus'' ([[Bethany House]], 2005) and ''My Boy, Ben—A Story of Love, Loss and Grace'' (Tristan Publishing, 2014).

==Service and awards==
Wheaton serves on the board of The Overcomer Foundation, a non-profit organization that directs his radio ministry. He also served on the board of directors of the [[United States Tennis Association]] (USTA) from 2003-2006. He is a member of the Intercollegiate Tennis Hall of Fame (class of 2012) and the USTA Northern Section Hall of Fame (class of 2005). Wheaton received the Eugene L. Scott Renaissance Award in 2011—an award presented to a national/international tennis champion who demonstrates excellence in promoting and developing the sport of tennis in public parks.
