Ivor Leroy Phillips (born 3 August 1935) is a South African former cricketer and tennis player.
Phillips attended Queen's College in Queenstown, where he excelled at sports. He was offered a scholarship to Stellenbosch University, but instead returned to work on the family farm at Tarkastad. Among a group of young South African tennis players, including his fellow Border cricketer Buster Farrer, Phillips competed at the 1956 Wimbledon Championships.[1] He and Farrer won their first-round match in the men's doubles, but lost in the second.[2]
Phillips played as a middle-order batsman in three first-class matches for Border in 1957–58 and 1958–59.[3] [4] He played for the South African Country Districts XI for 19 years, captaining them for 16 years.[1]
He later farmed in the Molteno district before retiring in 1999. He and his wife Leslie-Anne live in Port Alfred. They have four children.[1] Their sons James and Leroy played first-class cricket in South Africa.[4]
