Jordan Kerr, born 26 October 1979 in Adelaide South Australia, turned professional in 1998 and retired in 2014.
Kerr's 17yr career saw him compete in 44 Grand Slams, win 9 ATP Titles and remain ranked in the World's Top 100 in doubles for 10 consecutive years (2001-2010).
In 2008 he represented Australia at the Beijing Olympic Games (partnering Paul Hanley), in a team that featured Lleyton Hewitt, Chris Guccione, Alicia Molik, Sam Stosur and Casey Dellacqua. In the same season Kerr became Australia's No.1 doubles player.
Kerr's most successful doubles partnership came alongside American Jim Thomas, winning 4 ATP World Tour Titles together. 3 of those were at the Newport Hall Of Fame Championship (Rhode Island USA), the final grass tournament of the season following Wimbledon. Kerr won the event a record 5 times.
Jordan's best Grand Slam singles result came at the 1998 Australian Open, age 19, losing final round qualifying 6-4 4-6 6-8 to American Brian MacPhie.
