He defended the title seven times — a feat unmatched until 2006 when Robert Fahey made his seventh title defense (Fahey has now (2012) successfully defended his title ten times).
In May 2008 he again successfully defended his title, and thus broke Etchebaster's record, against US pro Camden Riviere on the historic court at Fontainebleau Palace, France, winning 7 sets to 5 (6/1 3/6 5/6 6/4, 6/2 6/3 5/6 6/0, 6/1 2/6 1/6 6/5).
He defeated world champion Robert Fahey twice in 2006, but lost his world championship campaign to Tim Chisholm that year.
