Pat Hughes (tennis)
George Patrick Hughes (21 December 1902 in Sutton Coldfield, Warwickshire – 8 May 1997) was an English tennis player.
Hughes and Fred Perry won the doubles at Roland Garros in 1933 and in Kooyong in 1934. Hughes later teamed up with Raymond Tuckey. They won the doubles in Wimbledon in 1936. Between 1929 and 1936 he was member of the British Davis Cup team.
Hughes is the only British player to succeed in singles at the Italian championships, capturing the title in 1931 and finishing runner up the following year. He captured the doubles title in both those years too, when the tournament, in its infancy, was played in Milan.
