Dubbed the ‘Becker Wrecker’ after famously defeating two-time defending champion Boris Becker in 1987 at Wimbledon, Peter reached a career-high world ranking of No.43.
In a statement issued on Saturday, Tennis Australia said the tennis family was deeply saddened by the news.
“Our thoughts and prayers are with his family and friends.
“Peter was unbeaten in Davis Cup representation. He won the South Australian Open singles title and reached No.15 in doubles, winning five titles during his distinguished career.
