Fawcett, who competed under the flag of Rhodesia, was a singles main draw qualifier at the 1975 Wimbledon Championships. He played what is believed to be the longest game in tennis history during his match against Keith Glass at the Surrey Championships in 1975. Glass's service game contained 37 deuces.
