Biography

Originally from the Western Australian city of Geraldton, Patten attended Christ Church Grammar School in Perth, graduating in 1987.[1]

Patten made his only main draw on the ATP Tour, then Grand Prix circuit, as a qualifier at the 1989 Australian Indoor Championships, pushing fifth seed Slobodan Živojinović to three sets in a first round loss which went for an hour and 50 minutes.[2]

At the 1990 Australian Open he was given a wildcard into the main draw, where he was beaten in the opening round by American Dan Goldie. He also competed in the men's doubles competition with Jamie Morgan.[3]

He is now the CEO of the non-profit Murlpirrmarra Connection Limited.

gollark: An entire day's work, ignoring any other expense you might have.
gollark: $60 is quite a lot by my standards.
gollark: You would, at least, mildly worsen prospects for developing another game.
gollark: Idea: start making a game now, then wait 20 years and actually do any of the work, so I can claim I worked on it for 20 years.
gollark: You could use that to argue that if you, say, start up a competing brick company and drop the market price of bricks, you are stealing from other brick companies.
