Robert LeRoy

Robert LeRoy (February 7, 1885 – September 7, 1946) was a tennis player from New York City in the United States who won two medals at the 1904 Summer Olympics in St. Louis. He won a Silver medal in both the men's singles event and the men's doubles tournament, partnering Alphonzo Bell.

He played collegiate tennis at Columbia University, where in 1904 and 1906, he won the National Collegiate Athletic Association singles championship.

In 1907, he was a singles finalist at the U.S. National Championships, now known as the US Open. In the semi-finals against Henry Mollenhauer, LeRoy trailed 2 sets to 1 and 5–2, and Mollenhauer had two match points. A questionable line call and his opponent suffering from cramps allowed LeRoy to reach the final, where he lost in straight sets to eventual seven times champion William Larned.

At the tournament now known as the Cincinnati Masters, he won three consecutive singles titles (1907–1909) and reached another singles final (1906). In doubles, he won two titles (1904 and 1905, both with Raymond D. Little) and reached another doubles final (1907 with Irving Wright). In mixed doubles in Cincinnati, he won the title in 1904 with Winona Closterman and reached two other mixed doubles finals (1905 with Helen Homans and 1907 with Marjorie Dodd).
