Cyril Gladstone Eames (20 October 1890 – 1 August 1974) was a British tennis player.
The son of Charles Gladstone Eames who was also a tennis player, he was most active in the 1920s and made the Wimbledon singles second round four times.[1]
It was his doubles partnership with Gordon Crole-Rees that he was most known for. The pair won the British Covered Court Championships, twice made the Wimbledon doubles quarter-finals and were doubles semi-finalists at the 1925 French Championships, where they lost in five sets to Jean Borotra and René Lacoste.[2] They featured together in the 1928 and 1929 International Lawn Tennis Challenge (Davis Cup) campaigns, winning four of their five doubles rubbers.[3] In their only loss, to Italy in the 1928 Europe Zone semi-final, they had held match points[4]
In 1931 he announced his intention to retire from the tour.[5]
