George Greville (tennis)


Turketil George Pearson Greville was an English tennis player with a career of record length. He began playing in the 1880s and last entered the singles of the Queen's Club tournament in 1933 aged 65. A. Wallis Myers said of Greville "his powers at the net are unquestionable" and "he knows the game thoroughly". Greville first entered the Wimbledon singles in 1896 and last entered in 1927 aged 59.
Greville reached the quarter finals of Wimbledon in 1897, 1899 and 1902. After losing early at Wimbledon in 1904, he didn't play again in the singles until 1926. His last appearance was in 1927.
Greville was the son of Rear Admiral John Stapleton Greville, and was an heir of the Earls of Warwick. In 1899, he married fellow tennis player Edith Austin.
