Dr Arthur Thomas Myers (16 April 1851 - 10 January 1894) was a British physician and sportsman. As a tennis player he participated in two Wimbledon Championships and also played first-class cricket.
While studying at Trinity College in 1870, Myers played a first-class cricket match for Cambridge University against the Marylebone Cricket Club. He batted in the middle order and scored seven in the first innings, then six in the second.[1]
In 1878 he competed in his first Wimbledon and made it into the quarter finals, before being defeated in straight sets by eventual champion Frank Hadow. The following year he won his first two matches and was eliminated in the third round, by Irishman C. D. Barry.[2]
Myers suffered from epilepsy and is believed to have taken his own life in 1894.[3]
He was the brother of scholar Frederic William Henry Myers and poet Ernest Myers.
