Keith McDougall (1893 – 1969) was an Australian tennis player in the 1920s. He was the son of Alexander "Sandy" McDougall, who was known in Perth as a "one-time big racing identity", according to newspaper The Sunday Times of Perth. Keith also played cricket and golf.[2] McDougall was twice Western Australia State doubles champion with Rice Gemmell, despite having a "crippled arm", according to The West Australian newspaper of Perth.[3] McDougall was the secretary of the King's Park Tennis Club in Perth.[4] McDougall's best stroke was his forehand. He was a semi finalist at the Australasian Championships singles held at Perth in 1921, beating R. W. Phillips and W. Hayman before losing to Alf Hedeman.[5] In 1924 McDougall opened a store which sold sports equipment with fellow player Rice Gemmell.[6] In 1927, McDougall partnered the Duke of York (later King George VI) in a doubles tennis match when the Duke visited Australia.[7]
