Vitoux made his Grand Slam debut in the 1990 French Open and was beaten in the opening round by Soviet player Andrei Cherkasov.[3] He made two further French Open appearances and was eliminated in the first round again in each, to Michael Chang and Andrei Medvedev.[3] The Frenchman qualified for the US Open in 1996 and registered his first ever Grand Slam win when he accounted for fellow qualifier Ramón Delgado in the opening round.[3] He was then eliminated in the second round by David Wheaton in four sets.[3]

It wasn't until 1994 that he appeared in an ATP Tour event that wasn't a Grand Slam.[3] He made the second round of the 1996 Abierto Mexicano de Tenis tournament in Mexico City.[3][4][5][6]
