Clifford Sproule (23 May 1905 – 24 April 1981) was an Australian tennis player and administrator. As a player he reached the semifinals of the Australian Championships singles. Sproule played Davis Cup, then was a manager of the Australian team and later still a referee. He was also President of the New South Wales Tennis Association. In 1976 he was awarded the OBE for services to tennis.[1] Making his debut in the Australian men's singles, Sproule lost in the opening round in 1926 to Garton Hone.[2] He lost in the second round in 1928 to Jean Borotra.[3] He reached the quarter-finals in 1930 and 1931 (losing both to Jack Crawford). In 1932 Sproule beat Don Turnbull and James Willard before losing in the semi-finals to Crawford.[4] At Wimbledon he lost in the second round on the three occasions he competed in the singles in 1932, 1936 and 1937.
