Career
Hampson competed in the main singles draw of the Australian Open three times and Wimbledon twice, without managing to register a win.[2] The closest he got was at the 1982 Australian Open, where he received a first round bye, before a five set loss in the second round to Eric Sherbeck, the last decided in a tiebreak.[2] He had more success in the doubles, making the third round at the 1982 Australian Open (with Broderick Dyke) and the 1983 Wimbledon Championships (with Chris Johnstone).[2]
He was a doubles finalist at the 1982 Melbourne Indoor tournament, the 1982 South Australian Open and the 1984 Lorraine Open, but lost them all.[2] On the singles circuit, Hampson had his best performance in 1980, making a quarter-final appearance in Perth.[2] He had a win over Kim Warwick at the Sydney Outdoor in 1981 and beat John Alexander en route to the round of 16 at Queen's in 1982.[2]
