In 1996, he won the NCAA singles championship as a freshman, a feat that had not been achieved since John McEnroe attended Stanford University in 1978.
Mamiit won the silver medal in the men's tournament at the 1999 Pan American Games in Winnipeg, Canada, after losing the final to fellow American Paul Goldstein. At the 2006 Asian Games held in Doha, Cecil won bronze in the men's tennis singles event losing to Lee Hyung Taik of South Korea. In the doubles event he, along with fellow Filipino-American tennis player Eric Taino, won bronze losing to top doubles players Mahesh Bhupathi and Leander Paes of India.
His best tournament result was at the 1999 San Jose tournament. As a qualifier he defeated Kenneth Carlsen, Andre Agassi (although Agassi was up 6–0 6–6 before he defaulted), Mark Woodforde, and Michael Chang before losing to Aussie Mark Philippoussis 6–3 6–2.
Mamiit represents the Philippines Davis Cup team, where he was undefeated until 2008.
On December 30, 2007, 2-time Southeast Asian (SEA) Games singles champion Cecil Mamiit and renowned healing Catholic priest Father Fernando Suarez teamed up to defeat former Davis Cuppers Felix Barrientos and Roland So, 6–3, 1–6, 6–1, at the Manila Polo Club tennis courts.[1]
As of June 7, 2010, Mamiit's singles ranking is World No. 497. He lost the final of the 2010 US Open National Playoffs to Blake Strode. By winning, Strode received a USTA wild card into the 2010 U.S. Open singles qualifying draw.
From January 2011 through the clay court season Mamiit was the hitting partner for Maria Sharapova where she won the 2012 French Open to complete her Career Grand Slam.[2]
