During his pro career which stretched from 1986 to 1993, Laurendeau had a career ATP tour singles win-loss record of 36 and 60. His best results were a round of 16 appearance in the 1988 U.S. Open and a third round appearance at 1991 Wimbledon, both in singles. His best ranking was World No. 90 which he achieved in October 1988. His tour doubles record stands at 15 and 33.
