Sad stuff for Todd Reid, the 2002 Wimbledon boy’s Champion, as the Australian passes away at only 34 years of age.
The Australian had a promising career ahead of him. At 18 years of age, he was the Aussie no.3 behind Lleyton Hewitt and Mark Philippoussis.
Todd Managed to reach a world no.104 career high and he had also the “luxury” to face Roger Federer in the 3rd round at the Australian Open (2004) when he lost in 3 sets. Unfortunately, he had to withdraw from tennis just 1 year after (2005) after a series of injuries and glandular fever.

Cause of death
Even if the cause of death was not made public, apparently there were “no suspicious circumstances.” This means that he was probably struggling with some illness.
The statement from Wimbledon
“The AELTC is deeply saddened to learn of the passing of Todd Reid, our 2002 boys’ singles champion. The thoughts of all those at Wimbledon are with his family and friends.”
