Antony Emerson (29 March 1963 – 23 January 2016) was a professional tennis player from Australia. He was the son of Roy Emerson.
Emerson was born in Brisbane on 29 March 1963, to Joy and Roy Emerson. He and his father, who was the first man to win 12 Grand Slam singles titles, won the US Hard Court Father and Son tournament in 1978. During his junior career he also had a win over Mats Wilander.
Growing up in Newport Beach, Emerson attended Corona del Mar High School, at the same time as family friend Lars Ulrich.
He was a member of the varsity tennis team at the University of Southern California before turning professional and earned All-American selection in 1984.
Coached by his father, Emerson competed on the professional tour in the 1980s. He made most of his appearances as a doubles player and won a Challenger title with Mark Woodforde in Dortmund in 1985.
On two occasions he made the men's doubles quarter-finals at the Australian Open, in 1985 and 1987. He partnered Des Tyson in both. His other Grand Slam appearances were at the 1986 French Open with Harald Rittersbacher and 1988 Australian Open with Ramesh Krishnan.
Emerson worked as a tennis professional in Miami for many years. Every year since 1983 he also helped run the Roy Emerson Tennis Weeks, a popular six week tennis camp held in the Swiss town of Gstaad.
