Lareau was also a finalist at the 1996 Australian Open and ATP Doubles Championship, and 1997 Australian Open, both partnering O'Brien. Lareau's best singles tour results were in 1995, the quarterfinals of the Philadelphia and St. Petersburg Grand Prix events; in 1996, the fourth round of the Key Biscayne Grand Prix event; in 1997, the quarterfinals of the Hong Kong Grand Prix event; in 1998, the third round of the Australian Open; the semifinals of the Philadelphia, the quarterfinals of the Scottsdale, the semifinals of the Hong Kong, the quarterfinals of the Washington and Moscow International Series events; in 1999, the quarterfinals of the Tokyo Outdoor International Series event; and in 2001, the semifinals of the Memphis International Series event.
