Career

Baron was a top ranked 18s player in the United States and had his best year on the junior circuit in 1990, when he won the Italian Open, reached the quarter-finals at the French Open and the semi-finals at Wimbledon.[1]

At the 1990 US Open, in addition to appearing in the boys' singles draw, Baron took part in the men's singles, men's doubles and mixed doubles.[2] A wildcard entrant, Baron lost in straight sets to Fabrice Santoro in the singles.[2] He partnered Michael Flanagan and Lisa Raymond in the doubles draws but was also unable to make it past the opening round in either.[3]

When he returned to the US Open main draw in 1993, it was as a qualifier. He lost in four sets to Renzo Furlan in the first round and also exited in the first round of the doubles, partnering Michael Joyce.[2] In the 1994 US Open, Baron appeared only in the doubles, with Martin Blackman.[2] They lost in the opening round.[2]

Baron had a win over then world number 11, Magnus Larsson, at the 1995 International Tennis Championships, in Coral Springs.[2] He and Brett Hansen-Dent were doubles runners-up at the same event the following year.[4]
