Norris Williams.〔Tilden (1921), p. 189〕 He was crowned Swiss champion in 1908〔 and champion of Bengal in 1913.〔 He held the Kent Championships title for four consecutive years between 1919–1922 and in total won the title six times. He won the singles title at the 1919 Australasian Championships, along with the first Anthony Wilding Memorial Medal, beating Eric Pockley of New South Wales in straight sets.〔 In the 1920 Wimbledon Championships he reached the doubles final alongside James Cecil Parke but eventually lost to the team of Garland–Williams.

He represented Great Britain in the Davis Cup seven times between 1919 and 1924 compiling a 9–8 win-loss record.
