Career

Sharpe represented the Great Britain Davis Cup team in one tie, against Poland in Torquay in 1930, called up to a side weakened by key withdrawals.[1] The British won 5–0, with Sharpe securing wins in both of his singles matches, against Maximilian Stolarow and Ignacy Tłoczyński.[2]

At the 1931 Wimbledon Championships, Sharpe defeated second seed Henri Cochet in the opening round.[3][4] It was one of three occasions that he made the fourth round at Wimbledon.

He won the Surrey Championships in 1932.
