Charles Edgar Hare (16 July 1915 – 18 November 1996) was a British tennis player active in 1930s, 1940s and 1950s.

Tennis career

1937 was by far Hare's most successful year, reaching the quarterfinals of the French Championships and the U.S. National Championships, the fourth round of Wimbledon and playing for Great Britain in the Challenge Round of the 1937 Davis Cup.

He was ranked World No. 10 by A. Wallis Myers of The Daily Telegraph for 1937.[1][2]

In January 1934 he married tennis player Mary Hardwick in Phoenix, Arizona.[3][4]
