Bobby Meredith

George Robert Broughton Meredith (15 July 1909 — 23 August 1994) was a British tennis player.

Career Born in the Leicestershire village of Hugglescote, Meredith was the son of a local doctor.

Meredith played cricket for the Dover College first eleven but couldn't pursue the sport further due to the hours he had to work in his part time retail job. Introduced to tennis by his elder sister, he became the Leicestershire junior champion as a 15-year old and was 16 when first picked for the county side, for which he later captained. He also made his Wimbledon singles main draw debut that year and was beaten in the first round by the tournament's top seed Ellsworth Vines.

Meredith stepped down as Managing Director of Leicester sporting goods store Sports Ltd on Belvoir Street in 1980 after working there for many years. He had three daughters with wife Margaret.
