There was no non-handicap women's single event at this tournament in the early years (circa 1881-1890).
An asterisk (*) indicates that the holder did not defend her title, so there was no Challenge Round in that year, the winner of the All-Comers' Final becoming the new champion.

West Sussex Championships, Bognor Regis, England

The tournament which became the West Sussex Championships was first held in Chichester in that county circa 1890. However, there was no non-handicap singles event for women until the late 1890s.

The West Sussex Championships tournament was discontinued in 1912, but was successfully revived in 1924; it was held in Bognor Regis from that year until its demise circa 1978.

World Hard Court Championships

The World Hard Court Championships, which were held on clay in the years 1912-14 and, after the First World War, 1920-23.

The tournament was held in Paris every year, with one exception, 1922, when it was held in Brussels.

The WHC event was designed by the French to rival Wimbledon as an international event of major significance. For years the United States refused to enter the International Tennis Federation until the "World Championship" titles were dropped from the events in Wimbledon and Paris. As a condition of entry into the ITF the Federation dropped the "World Hard Court" titles in 1923.

While the 1923 event was the end of the line for the WHC event it lived on under another guise. In 1924 the Olympic Games in Paris neatly replaced it, then in 1925 the French finally decided on a "French Open". The French Open was contested at the same site as the old World Hard Court events, making the WHC in a very real sense the forerunner of today's French Open.

Hello,

I can give you the name of the first winner of the tournament held in Napoli/Naples: It wasn't "G.A. Ransome", but A.G. Ransome, namely the English player Amy Gertrude Ransome, who enjoyed her greatest success in the Continental European tournaments.

Re: The Kent Championships. Here are some player's first names and family names, with the first year of their appearance given first; also one or two missing scores:

1888 Miss Gurney -> Edith Gurney

1890 Maude Shackle -> I believe her first name was spelt "Maud"

1893 Miss P. Legh -> Ruth Pennington-Legh

1894 A. Wilson -> Amy Wilson

1905 Connie Wilson d. Alice Greene 6-2, 6-4 (Due to bad weather at Beckenham, this match was played at Wimbledon on June 27.)

1909 Dora Boothby d. Agnes Morton 6-4, 6-4 (Due to bad weather, this final was not played at Beckenham.)

1912 Mrs Winifreid McNair -> This should be Winifred McNair (there is no need for the "Mrs" once a married player's first name is known.)

1920 Elizabeth Ryan/Mrs. McNair 7-9 3-2 divided -> Winifred McNair again. I'd say: "Due to bad weather, the final could not be completed. Elizabeth Ryan and Winifred McNair divided the first prize."

The entries for the tournament held in Nice (the main tournament, the South of France Championships, not the club one) are out by one year, in other words the first open women's singles event was held in 1899, not 1898, the elusive M. Brooksmith being the first winner of this event in the former year.

Thank you Mark! For this information and for those concerning Beckenham, Nice and U.S. Clay Court Champs, that now I will look over with much curiosity.
You have been the first to post in this new thread!

The Swiss Championships

The (International) Swiss Championships were first held in Saint Moritz, Switzerland, in 1897. An open women's singles event was added to the schedule in 1899, when the venue was still in Saint Moritz. In later years the tournament would be held at a different venue each year, on clay, or on a clay-like surface.

A Swiss Championships tournament was held in 1915; this was the last time this tournament was held until the end of World War One.

Here are the results (where known) from 1899-1915 (because it differs almost every year, the venue is also included, where known):

1899 [Saint Moritz] M. Brooksmith (GBR) d. Miss Stephenson (GBR) 6-1, 6-1

1893 Miss P. Legh -> Ruth Pennington-Legh

1894 A. Wilson -> Amy Wilson

1905 Connie Wilson d. Alice Greene 6-2, 6-4 (Due to bad weather at Beckenham, this match was played at Wimbledon on June 27.)

1909 Dora Boothby d. Agnes Morton 6-4, 6-4 (Due to bad weather, this final was not played at Beckenham.)

1912 Mrs Winifreid McNair -> This should be Winifred McNair (there is no need for the "Mrs" once a married player's first name is known.)

1920 Elizabeth Ryan/Mrs. McNair 7-9 3-2 divided -> Winifred McNair again. I'd say: "Due to bad weather, the final could not be completed. Elizabeth Ryan and Winifred McNair divided the first prize."

Thanks Mark, I have all corrected with your informations.

Here are the winners of the women's singles event at the South of France Championships, held on clay courts in Nice, from 1899-1914 and from 1919-39:

South of France Championships, Nice

-----

Nice was a complicated venue, because besides "South of France Champs." there were at least other two tournaments: "Nice Lawn Tennis Club Champs." and "Tournoi International de la ville de Nice".
I put in a file with a honour roll of "Tournoi International de la ville de Nice" , taken from an official programme.
It's need check with the years of thread "Women's Tennis Results", because some years have the same winners of "South of France Champs."

Hello, Mauro,

I can guarantee that the results I submitted are all from the South of France Championships because I took them all from the original sources in "Lawn Tennis"/"Lawn Tennis and Badminton"/"Lawn Tennis and Badminton", etc.

It's clear that the "Tournoi International de la ville de Nice", for which you've provided a link, is the South of France Championships tournament because all of the winners are the same for the years I've given.

1928 B. von Reznicek = Baroness von Reznicek. She was German, not Austrian.

1938 M. Wheeler = Mlle Wheeler/Gracyn Wheeler, who was American, not British.
