Career

Larkham twice made the second round of a Grand Slam singles draw, both times as a qualifier. His first victory came against Ctislav Doseděl at the 1997 Wimbledon Championships, in four sets, after losing the first. In the 2003 Australian Open he defeated Cecil Mamiit to set up a second round meeting with tournament favourite Lleyton Hewitt.
