Evangelos RALLIS

Evangelos Rallis competed in tennis at the 1896, in both singles and doubles, playing alongside Konstantinos Paspatis in the latter event. In singles he won one match in Pool B, but lost in three sets to the eventual champion, John Pius Boland, and did not make it to the semi-finals. Rallis and Paspatis lost in round one of the doubles. Rallis competed for the Athinai Lawn Tennis Club.

We know nothing else definitive of his life, but in 1888, an E. P. Ralli played at Queen’s Club. There is some suspicion that this person, probably Eustratius Pantaleon Constantine Ralli, may be that tennis player and the Olympian. He was London based and educated at Eton where he played cricket in 1873-74.
