Louis Bosman Raymond (28 June 1895 – 30 January 1962) was a male tennis player from South Africa. At the 1920 Summer Olympics in Antwerp, Belgium, he defeated Ichiya Kumagai in the finals to win the gold medal.
He won the South African Championships six times; four consecutive titles from 1921 through 1924 as well as victories in 1930 and 1931.
Between 1919 and 193 Raymond played in ten ties for the South African Davis Cup team and has a record of ten wins and eleven losses.
In William Tilden's book, The Art of Lawn Tennis, Raymond is described as a "hard working and deserving player" and someone who "attains success by industry rather than natural talent".
Famous quotes containing the word louis:
“I have a little shadow that goes in and out with me,
And what can be the use of him is more than I can see.
He is very, very like me from the heels up to the head;
And I see him jump before me, when I jump into my bed.”
—Robert Louis Stevenson (1850–1894)
