Bio	He was born as one of the three sons of Arthur Dewhurst and Emma Owen in Tamworth, New South Wales, Australia in 1870. In 1893, he started playing as the member of the New South Wales team against Victoria in the Intercolonial competition and became a formidable player in a short period of time. In 1895, he defeated Benjamin Green (Victoria) who had been undefeated in 12 Intercolonial tournaments until that time. Dewhurst was very successful in the Doubles Championships which he won in 1898 and in 1900. He also won the Strathfield NSW Metropolitan Championships, singles in 1895 and doubles in 1895, 1897 and 1902. In 1903, Dewhurst arrived at the United States of America where he undertook a course in dentistry at the University of Pennsylvania in Dentistry. Representing University of Pennsylvania, Dewhurst reached the final at the Intercollegiate Championship 3 consecutive years (he won the Singles title in 1903, came runner-up in 1904 and regained the title in 1905).
