Evelyn Dewhurst (née Maud Evelyn Ray Marshall; 12 January 1902 – 1993) was a British Ceylonese tennis player. She competed at the 1926 Wimbledon Championships, reaching the second round in singles and the third round in doubles. Her second-round loss to six-time Wimbledon singles champion Suzanne Lenglen was a pivotal match in Lenglen's career that led to her retiring from amateur tennis to become a professional.
After winning the Ceylonese national championship in 1927, Dewhurst herself retired from amateur tennis to join Lenglen on her short British professional tour. She signed for a low amount of 1000 pounds because she "desperately needed the money". Dewhurst played five more singles matches against Lenglen on the tour, losing all of them. She also partnered with Karel Koželuh or Howard Kinsey to play against Lenglen and either Koželuh or Kinsey in mixed doubles, also losing all of her matches.[1][2][3]
