Odesnik won his first Futures title in 2003, and won a combined 14 singles titles in Challenger and Future ITF Men's Circuit events.
He resides in Weston, Florida, in the United States. In March 2010, Odesnik pleaded guilty to importing human growth hormone into Australia, and was banned for two years by the International Tennis Federation.
The ban was later reduced to one year on account of his "substantial assistance" with the Federation's anti-doping program.
In March 2015 Odesnik was handed a 15-year ban after a second doping violation.
