Stanley Norwood Doust (29 March 1878 – 13 December 1961)[2] was an Australian-born tennis player who captained his nation's Davis Cup team and was winner of the Mixed Doubles Trophy at Wimbledon.

[4] His elder sister was Edith Lucy Doust (1875–1947),[5] who married Harry Wolstenholme and was an early female graduate at the University of Sydney[6] and tennis player.

[7] Living in Marrickville and Wyroolah Dulwich Hill, Doust was educated at Newington College commencing in 1887 at the age of eight.

[8] On 18 August 1903, at the Presbyterian Church in Petersham, he married Dorothy Mary Storer.

[3] In his obituary in The Times he is described as; "One of the last of the world's great 'dolly' servers and particularly nimble about the court, he was seen at his best in doubles matches ... he used a well-placed, low-bouncing service that forced his opponent to hit upwards while [he] moved in to volley.
