Delaitre turned professional in 1986.
In singles, he reached four ATP-tour finals, and achieved a career-high ranking of 33 in February 1995.
In doubles, he won 15 titles during his career and reached a career-high ranking of 3 in July 1999. In 1998, he won four doubles titles with Fabrice Santoro and together they qualified for the end-of-year ATP Finals , where they reached the semifinals. In 1999, Delaitre and Santoro lost in the semifinals of Wimbledon 7-5 in the final set to eventual champions Mahesh Bhupati and Leander Paes . Delaitre's biggest title was the Monte Carlo Masters in 1999, where - unseeded - he and Tim Henman won the tournament without dropping a set.
Delaitre was the first person to defeat future World No. 1 Roger Federer at a Grand Slam, in the first qualifying round of the 1999 Australian Open .
