Career
As a junior, Hilton made the semi-finals of the boy's doubles event at the 1999 Wimbledon Championships. He and partner James Nelson lost narrowly 15-17 to Guillermo Coria and David Nalbandian in the final set of their semi-final.[2]
Hilton, while ranked 479 in the world, upset Albert Costa at the 2004 Wimbledon Championships, to make the second round, where he lost to Dominik Hrbatý.[3][4] He had previously lost in the opening round of Wimbledon in 2002, to Barry Cowan and in 2003, to Younes El Aynaoui.[4] In the men's doubles, he was unable to get past the Wimbledon first round in his first four attempts, but with Jonathan Marray in 2005 defeated the French pairing of Julien Benneteau and Nicolas Mahut.[4] They then lost in the second round to Ivo Karlović and Rogier Wassen.[4]
He won three ATP Challenger doubles titles in 2005, with Marray.[4]
Hilton now coaches Liam Broady.
