[edit] Notes

  1. ^ Among the great players not allowed to play because they had turned professionals were, in chronological order, Koželuh, Tilden (from 1931), Nusslein, Cochet (from 1933), Vines (from 1934), Perry (from 1937), Budge (from 1939), Riggs and Kovacs (from 1942), Kramer (from 1948), Segura (from 1948), Parker (from 1950), Gonzales (from 1950), Sedgman (from 1953), Trabert (from 1956), Rosewall (from 1957), Hoad (from 1958), Gimeno (from 1961), and Laver (from 1963).
  2. ^ a b c d It is not certain that there were French Pro editions between 1930 and 1933, though contrary information is given in many sources. In History of the Pro Tennis Wars, by Ray Bowers (http://www.tennisserver.com/lines/lines-archive.html), there is no mention of French Pro tournaments between 1930 and 1933. According to Bowers, in 1933 the only professional competition played at Roland Garros was a USA-France meeting, September 22-24, in the Davis Cup format won by the USA 4-1 where Cochet overcame Barnes, Tilden defeated Plaa and Cochet, Barnes beat Plaa, and Americans then closed out the doubles. Many sources probably wrongly considered the Tilden-Cochet match as a final of a supposed French Pro.
  3. ^ Played on indoor wood at the Palais des Sports
  4. ^ May not have been considered at the time as an official French Pro
  5. ^ a b c d e Played on indoor wood at the Stade Pierre de Coubertin
  6. ^ The first French Open (winner Rosewall) was held on May-June 1968 while the last French Pro (winner Laver) took place a few weeks later, in July 1968
  7. ^ The eight professionals under contract with the World Championship of Tennis (WCT) organization were prevented by their boss from playing the first Open French Championships.
  8. ^ The 24 WCT players didn't come
  9. ^ Just 16 WCT players out of 32 came
  10. ^ All the WCT players (more than 32) were banned from the ILTF circuit and in particular from Roland Garros (and Wimbledon)
  11. ^ a b c All the players under contract with World Team Tennis (WTT) were forbidden of Roland Garros (among them in 1974 Newcombe, Rosewall and Connors) though lawyer Robert Badinter in 1974 defended one of them, Jimmy Connors
