John Edward Bromwich was an Australian tennis player, born on 14 November 1918 and died on 21 October 1999. Together with his countryman Vivian McGrath he was one of the first great players to use a two handed backhand. He was a natural left-hander but hit his serve with his right hand. Bromwich won the Australian Championships singles title twice, in 1939 with a straight sets final win over Adrian Quist, and in 1946 with a five set final victory over Dinny Pails. A. Wallis Myers ranked him world number three in 1938, and Harry Hopman gave him the same ranking in 1947.
