Decugis and Décugis[edit]

Hello mister Peirce.

This is I who have changed your article and among many changements I have also changed Décugis in Decugis because I thought it was written without any accent. But you seem to be sure (as for Năstase and Koželuh) because you've come back to your initial orthograph. I will look at my French books again (I've changed my old Username Karl Kol in Carlo Colussi my real name).

I've also written some remarks about the U.S. Pro and in the World No. 1 Tennis Player Pre-ATP Rankings I have changed many things and in particular I've renamed Brit. Pro in Wembley Pro' because The Wembley Pro tournament has never been a British Pro as written in many books. There have been a) the International Pro Championship of Britain played at Southport in the thirties and b) played by domestic players the Pro Championships of Britain, held annually at, generally, Eastbourne. Eastbourne also held the Slazenger Pro tournament.

About the French Pro, Bowers didn't account anything about the 1930 to 1933 tournaments evoked by McCauley and in particular Bowers states that the pro event held at Roland Garros in 1933 wasn't a French Pro but a USA-France meeting where Cochet beat Barnes, Tilden beat Plaa and Cochet, Barnes beat Plaa and the US closing out the doubles.

Changements[edit]

I've renamed the page because I hate the old term Open when it is inappropriate : I know so much that before 1968 there was no real open tournaments and when I see that Mervyn Rose or Roy Emerson are supposed French Open Champions I can't bear it given that they has won tournaments very Closed and not Open at all.

I'm a little afraid of the possible "double redirects" because I do not master them : I hope there aren't.

I've changed the structure of the page to make well understand to a neophyte in tennis history that many tournaments were depleted because many great pros were forbidden until 1967 to enter them.

Finally I've changed some years : for instance there were 1936 and 1937 French pro editions (won respectively by Cochet and Nusslein), see Ray Bowers's articles.

You've got Tony Roche listed as a bloody American!

German flags incorrect[edit]

German flags for 1934, and later are false. They are shown by the names of Gottfried von Cramm, and Denkel.

for 1935 flag should be kaiserliche fahne schwarz-weiss-rot, black-white-red and for period 1935-1945 it was hakenkreuz flag, the so called Nazi flag, with swastika.

I am not registered user so I can't correct this

Vandalism[edit]

Someone has vandalized this page by putting in fake names as the winners. For example, last year Nadal defeated Federer in the final. 72.85.209.18 20:23, 29 April 2007 (UTC)

Ok, I figured out how to fix it. 72.85.209.18 20:30, 29 April 2007 (UTC)

Table[edit]

I've added a table (about the Bristol Cup and the Deauville tournament) in the paragraph "Professional International Championships of France ("French Pro") (1930-1968 and 1920-1932)" but knowing almost anything about form if anyone can reduce the width of the table it would be good. Thanks. Carlo Colussi (talk) 06:43, 7 May 2008 (UTC)

FLC[edit]

This page has been removed from the list of nominations at WP:FLC. Especially at this time when the number of reviewers is slow, it's important to try not to clog up FLC with multiple nominations of pages with similar scopes. Usually 2 at a time is OK, but if the subject is new, it is better to let one nomination go through the process and then applying any necessary changes to other before nominating those. As the FLC had no comments from reviewers, it is not necessary to record it in the article history. The page will be deleted so that when this page is brought back, the archive # is still "1".

nazi flag[edit]

Even though it may technically be correct, it seems inappropriate to put a Nazi flag by the name of Gottfried von Cramm considering that he was imprisoned by the Nazi regime. Flags are statements of ideology! previous post made by 86.157.23.215

Flags on wikipedia tennis players are not statements of ideology...they are simply the nation under which one plays tennis. Fyunck(click) (talk) 06:32, 20 March 2011 (UTC)

A one time winner[edit]

a one time winner's image was put recently which is unworthy to be put here when there are 7 and 6 times winners. the image was put without consensus and has been removed. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 108.78.177.132 (talk) 22:15, 10 September 2012 (UTC)

Bobby Riggs[edit]

I tried changing Robert Riggs to the more familiar Bobby Riggs, but was unsuccessful. I minor point, perhaps, but since his Wikipedia page lists him as Bobby perhaps someone more astute can correct the entry for 1939.Closedthursday (talk) 17:17, 10 May 2013 (UTC)

Changed to Bobby Riggs per article title.--Wolbo (talk) 21:35, 10 May 2013 (UTC)

Featured List[edit]

Why is it that the respective pages for the other Grand Slam events are featured lists and this one isn't? This one is almost identical to the other three. Mwhittaker92 (talk) 18:15, 2 September 2013 (UTC)
