Tennis career
Claverie was a regular member of Venezuela's Davis Cup team in the 1980s and his career included a 1987 win over Canadian player Glenn Michibata, who the previous year had been ranked in the world's top-50.[1] In a 1988 tie against Jamaica he came from two sets down to win the deciding fifth rubber over Noel Rutherford, with the match going six hours.[2] He won a total of nine Davis Cup rubbers, all in singles.[3]
A Pan American Games bronze medalist in 1983, Claverie qualified for his only ATP Tour main draw at the 1990 Volvo International in New Haven, where he had a first round win over wildcard Chuck Adams. In 1991 he featured in the qualifying draws at Wimbledon. He had a career high singles ranking of 290 in the world, attained in May 1991.[4]
Claverie played United States collegiate tennis during the 1980s, first in Tennessee, then for the University of Maryland, where his girlfriend and future wife Claudia Borgiani was a member of the women's team.[1] Their son, also named Carlos, is an Olympic swimmer who competed at the 2016 Summer Olympics.[5]
In 2018, Claverie replaced Yohny Romero as the Davis Cup captain of Venezuela but was only in the role for a year.[3]
