Roger was born in Adelaide, Australia. He is of Lebanese origin. His first career was football, which he had started playing at the age of five. After winning a school tournament in tennis at the age of twelve, he started playing tennis as well. At the age of fifteen, he went to Newks Tennis Ranch where he trained with John Newcombe, who made him the Number One Australian junior tennis player at the age of sixteen. The same year he qualified for the Australian Open as the youngest player ever, only to be eclipsed by his former pupil Lleyton Hewitt.

Rasheed’s tennis career was plagued by major back problems which continue to exist and by 1992 the ongoing injury forced him into early retirement. He went back to his native South Australia and played league football with the football club Sturt.
