Retired tennis ace John McCurdy has served up his Hampton home for auction.
The 1980s-era player competed at Wimbledon, the US Open and the Australian Open — climbing into the world top 100 rankings in 198 — and even had a stint playing for North Melbourne’s VFL side.
McCurdy is now the head coach at the Royal Yarra Tennis Club, and has also been head tennis coach at the Australian Institute of Sport and Tennis Australia.

The 64-year old is looking to bounce his four-bedroom house at 28 Bridge St with $2.6m-$2.8m price hopes.
The bayside home features a large pool, a kitchen fitted with Bosch appliances and an upstairs retreat with a study area.
Nick Johnstone Real Estate partner Bert Geraerts said the property was in a great spot, in the middle of the Hampton and Sandringham shops as well as close to the beach.
“It’s low maintenance; it’s not only a huge block of land, so for those who don’t want to garden on their weekends, so it’s perfect,” Mr Geraerts said.
He added that with a price under $3m, the residence was good value given its size, pool and location.
Major drawcards of the abode were the fireplace and the pool.
Spanning across two storeys, the home offers multiple living zones, an expansive deck and a large separate laundry.
The open-plan kitchen, living and dining space at the rear opens to the backyard and alfresco entertaining area.
Upstairs, the north-facing main bedroom has a walk-in wardrobe and ensuite, while the three other bedrooms have built-in wardrobes.
The home goes to auction at 2pm on October 12.
