Biography

Born in Herzliya, Weidenfeld had a promising junior career, which included a win over Jim Courier.[1] As a junior he competed in several grand slam events, twice making the round of 16, at the 1986 Wimbledon Championships and 1988 French Open.[2]

Weidenfeld began competing professionally in the late 1980s and represented Israel once in a Davis Cup tie, a 1990 World Group relegation play-off at home against China. In the final reverse singles, Weidenfeld defeated Di Lin in straight sets, to complete a 5-0 whitewash.[3] His ATP Tour main draw appearances came in four editions of the Tel Aviv Open and 1997 tournaments in Indianapolis and Tashkent. He won two Challenger titles, one in singles and one in doubles.
