[edit] Decugis and Décugis
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.

[edit] Changements
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!
[edit] German flags incorrect
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.
