Geraghty, who grew up in Hialeah, Florida, had a small build and was known more for finesse than power hitting.[1]
Following two years with Appalachian State, Geraghty played collegiate tennis for the University of Miami and was an NCAA doubles quarter-finalist with John Eagleton in 1977, earning All-American honors. He was team captain in 1978.[2]
Geraghty's career on tour included appearance at the Wimbledon Championships and US Open.[3]
