István Gulyás (Hungarian: Gulyás István; 14 October 1931 – 31 July 2000)[3][4] was a Hungarian tennis player. He was the second Hungarian man to reach a major singles final, after Jozsef Asboth in 1947.[5] Gulyás was defeated in the 1966 French Championships final to Tony Roche in three sets, after permitting the match to be delayed by a day for Roche to recover from an ankle injury.[6][7] He was ranked inside the world's Top 10 on multiple occasions, and Lance Tingay of The Daily Telegraph ranked Gulyás as the world No. 8 in 1966.[2] He holds the record for the most Hungarian National Championship titles with 15.[8][9]
