Tennis career
A left-handed player from Northampton, Robinson was active on the professional tour in the 1990s.[2] He took a set off Greg Rusedski in his semi-final loss at the national championships in 1996 and also twice broke the serve of the Canadian-born player.[3] His only ATP Tour main draw appearance came as a doubles qualifier at the 1996 Bournemouth International, with Arvind Parmar.
Robinson played collegiate tennis for Texas Christian University, where he was a three-time All-American in both singles and doubles.[4] He represented Great Britain at the 1995 World Student Games and won a silver medal partnering Samantha Smith in the mixed doubles.[5]
