Patrick Proisy (born 10 September 1949) is a French former professional tennis player best remembered for reaching the final of the French Open in 1972[1][2] (where he beat top seed and defending champion Jan Kodeš in the quarter-finals and fourth seed Manuel Orantes in the semi-finals before losing the final against sixth seeded Spaniard Andrés Gimeno in four sets).
[3] He added to that one more final (in Florence, 1976) and singles titles in Hilversum, 1977 and Perth, 1972.
Proisy reached a career-high singles ranking of world No.
In 2016, he received a ten-month suspended prison sentence for irregularities in transfers during his tenure; parts of transfer fees were received by the British branch of owners IMG instead of the club, who suffered on the pitch and were relegated to Ligue 2 in 2001.
His sentence was reduced to six months on appeal in 2019, and part of the charges were put to a retrial in 2021.
