Former Aussie prospect Reid dead at 34

Sadness throughout the Australian tennis community, as word came of the death of 2002 junior Wimbledon champion Todd Reid.

The language surrounding the far-too-premature passing of Reid, just 34, is vague.

Fellow Aussie Todd Woodbridge wrote on Twitter of “never knowing how much someone can be suffering”. A news story included the number for a suicide-prevention hotline tagging the story.

Reid won junior Wimbledon at age 18. He had victories over Gasquet, Tipsarevic, Soderling and Muller in the juniors.

He reached a career ATP ranking of No. 105 at age 20 in 2004. But he played only sporadically after mid-2005.
