Matsuoka turned professional in 1986.

1989

In 1989, he finished runner-up in the top-level tournament at Wellington, and captured the doubles title in Auckland.

1991

1991 saw Matsuoka achieve his career-best Masters result, when he reached the quarter-finals of the 1991 Canada Masters in Montreal, beating Michael Chang in a dramatic 3-set battle en route.

1992

A former Wimbledon quarter-finalist, Matsuoka won one singles title during his career, in Seoul in 1992.

In the same year, he reached a career-high ranking of world No. 46.

In 1992, Matsuoka became the first Japanese player to win a singles event on the ATP Tour when he captured the title in Seoul.

He was also runner-up at the prestigious grass court tournament at Queen's Club that year.

1995

Matsuoka won the first set but Sampras came back to win in four sets.

Throughout the 1995 Tour, Matsuoka suffered from chronic muscle cramps.

In February, during a match against Joseph Lizardo at the Davis Cup, he sustained an injury that required him to withdraw.

At the US Open of 1995, during the fourth set of his first round match against Petr Korda, Matsuoka collapsed from severe cramping in his thighs which left him writhing in pain on the court for several minutes.

The rules at the time meant that Matsuoka would have forfeited the match if he had gotten medical attention, so he was left to suffer until he was defaulted for delaying the match.

The incident led to a change in the rules of professional tennis to allow players to receive medical treatment during matches.
