Paul Raymond Hutchins (5 April 1945 – 14 March 2019) was a British tennis player and Davis Cup player.
He was the longest serving British Davis Cup captain, being in charge for 31 matches and 13 years, including the 1978 final.[2] [3]
Born in Bristol, Hutchins was educated at Millfield School.[4] [5]
Hutchins was a Davis Cup player and Captain for Great Britain from 1975 to 1987.[6] In 1968, he made the third round of the men's singles at the French Open and the US Open, and the quarterfinals of the men's doubles at the French, partnering Gerald Battrick.
Hutchins largely stopped playing at the age of 25 due to injury, though he did play a few matches in 1972 & 1973.[7]
