Who was Konstantinos Paspatis?

Konstantinos Paspatis was a Greek tennis player. He competed at the 1896 Summer Olympics in Athens. Born in Liverpool, England 5 June 1878 and died in Athens 14 March 1903.

Paspatis won a bronze medal in the singles tournament. In the first round, he defeated George S. Robertson of Great Britain and Ireland. His second round opponent was fellow Greek Aristidis Akratopoulos, whom Paspatis defeated as well. He met eventual gold medallist John Pius Boland in the semifinals, however, and was defeated. Since there was no playoff for third place, Paspatis and Momcsilló Tapavicza of Hungary are considered to share third.

In the doubles tournament, Paspatis and partner Evangelos Rallis were defeated in the first round by Dionysios Kasdaglis and Demetrios Petrokokkinos, an Egyptian and a Greek. This put the pair in two-way tie for fourth place of the five pairs.
