In 2022, he won the South African U18 national title.[3] Doig signed a letter of intent to compete for the Tulsa Golden Hurricane at the University of Tulsa in the United States in July 2023.[4]

Career

[edit]

Having played junior qualifiers at the 2025 French Open,[5] Doig qualified for the main draw of the boys singles' at the 2025 Wimbledon Championships, where he was defeated in two sets by Luis Guto Miguel of Brazil.[6] Playing in the boys' doubles alongside Kriish Tyagi of India, he reached the quarter-final stage, where they faced Amir Omarkhanov and Egor Pleshivtsev of Kazhakstan.[7]

Doig entered 2026 with his world junior combined ranking at number 44.[8] Playing alongside Bulgarian Dimitar Kisimov, Doig won the final of the 2026 Australian Open in the Boys' doubles. They recorded a win over Keaton Hance and Tanishk Konduri to reach the semi-finals, where they beat Kirill Filaretov and Mark Ceban.[9] Doig had previously been defeated by Briton Mark Ceban in the first round of the boys singles' at the championship, but after winning that tie, they went on to beat Australian pairing Ymerali Ibraimi and Cooper Kose in the final.[10][11][12] In doing so, Doig became the first South African to win the title, with the win coming in just their fourth tournament playing together as a partnership.[13][14]
