Career edit

Eriksson competed in four Grand Slam tournaments during his career but was unable to register a win.[2] In the 1987 Wimbledon Championships he lost to future champion Stefan Edberg 0–6, 0–6, 0–6.[2] It was the first ever Wimbledon match in the open era to be decided in just 18 games and first shutout at the tournament since 1947.[3]

His best result on tour came at the Cologne tournament in 1986, when he finished runner-up.[2] He upset world number nine Anders Järryd in the semi-finals.[2] The Swede had two further wins over top 30 players that year, beating Slobodan Živojinović in Basel and Milan Šrejber in Vienna.[2]

On the doubles circuit, Eriksson reached the quarterfinals at the Indianapolis Clay Court Championships in both 1985 and 1986, partnering Mikael Pernfors.[2] He went further at Toulouse in 1985, making the semi-finals, with Peter Lundgren.[2]
