Career[edit]
Johnston played collegiate tennis for Oklahoma State University.[2]
He received a bye in the opening round of the 1982 Australian Open, then faced Ben Testerman in the second round, a match the Australian lost in straight sets.[2] In the doubles he made the third round, with partner John McCurdy.[2]
Johnston is believed to be one of the inspirations (alongside Stefan Edberg) for the Australian Open logo from 1995 to 2016, which depicted a male player serving.[3]
He now works a managing director at the Women's Tennis Association.[4]
