Dimitrios Petrokokkinos ( Greek Δημήτριος Πετροκόκκινος , born April 17, 1878 in Ilford , Greater London , England , United Kingdom ; † February 10, 1942 in Cape Town , South Africa ) was a Greek tennis player and took part in the first Summer Olympics in Athens in 1896 .
Career
Petrokokkinos was eliminated in the first round of the individual tennis competition against the Greek Evangelos Rallis . The bronze medal winner Konstantinos Paspatis , who also played singles, was Petrokokkinos cousin. In the doubles competition, however, he reached the final with his doubles partner Dionysios Kasdaglis . There they were subject to the pairing of the Irish John Pius Boland and the German Friedrich Adolf Traun and were awarded the bronze medal for second place, which the International Olympic Committee now evaluates as a silver medal.
As a member of the affluent Paspatis family, who came from Chios , Petrococci cinemas lived in England. He was head of the Empedocles Bank , which belonged to his brother-in-law Giorgios Empedocles.
The date of his death is not clearly recorded. February 10th or May 11th have also come down to us from various sources.
