Anthony Lloyd (born 3 December 1956) is a British former professional tennis player.
Lloyd is the youngest of three brothers who played tennis at the top level.[1] Two brothers, David Lloyd and John Lloyd, represented Great Britain in the Davis Cup.[2] All three appeared in the main singles draw of the 1977 Wimbledon Championships, which was Tony's only Grand Slam appearance in singles.[3] Given a wild card into the main draw, Lloyd was beaten in the first round by John Alexander.[3]
More noted as a doubles player, he often partnered with his brother John. The pair were runners-up at the 1979 Paris Open, an indoor Grand Prix tournament, and twice made the third round of the Wimbledon Championships, in 1979 and 1980.[3] [4] During their run in 1979 they defeated number two seeds Wojtek Fibak and Tom Okker.[5]
