Official Tournament Winners by Event

Thanks to Rollo for originally creating this thread, and for have given me the responsibility of the new thread, that is for listing ladies tennis championship winners by event.

When a tennis player marries I will use both the maiden name and the married name, in chronological order, and I will maintain them in following years. ( It will be difficult with some divorced and remarried players.... but I will try to always use the maiden name and the married name at the time she was playing. )
When a married player doesn't use her married name ( that so doesn't appear in the honour rolls ) , I will use the maiden name only.

Obviously every correction and addition will be very welcome!

All-India Championships/National Lawn Tennis Championships of India

Introduction

Lawn tennis was introduced into India by the British in the late nineteenth century. A ladies' singles event was held at the Punjab Lawn Tennis Tournament in Lahore (now in Pakistan) as early as 1887. However, participation by women in these early years was limited mainly to the wives and daughters of British civilian and army officers based in India.

What's more, membership of lawn tennis clubs during the late years of the British Raj was very restricted, with most members being wealthy or upper class Europeans and male Indians. The dress code for Indian women also acted a bar for a number of years.

The first edition of what became known as the All-India Championships was held in 1910, in Allahabad, in the north-western state of Utter Pradesh. This first all-India tournament featured a women's singles event, won by a Mrs Kendall. Most of the early winners of this event appear to have been married British women living in India; little is known about them. From the mid-1920s onwards participation by Indian women such as Jenny Sandison and Leela Row became more common and, gradually, a norm.

By the late 1930s, participation and interest in the All-India Championships had decreased dramatically. A decision was thus taken in 1939 to move the tournament to a different city, indeed to hold it in a different city every year, the three main cities in this respect being Calcutta, Bombay and Madras. In reality, the tournament was held in Allahabad only two more times after 1938; in later years the main venues were Calcutta, then the capital, New Delhi.

In 1946, the All-India Championships tournament was renamed the National Lawn Tennis Championships of India by the India Lawn Tennis Association. This change, and similar changes, coincided with India's increasing independence from British rule, the Republic of India being established in 1950.

The surface used at the early All-India Championships is unclear, although it was more than likely either grass or clay. It appears that grass was used several times as the surface for the All-India Championships and the later National Lawn Tennis Championships of India. Contemporary sources confirm that grass was definitely used in 1977, for example, when the latter tournament was held in Bombay.

The All-India Championships and the later National Championships of India tournaments were almost always held around the Christmas/New Year periods. This meant that both the intense summer temperatures and the rains of the monsoon season could be avoided.

Fantastic Elegos!

and I also have a list-these should be the Finnish Outdoor Champions. It was bnot strictly a nationals only event-note Hilde Sperling on list. The use of "Saksa" indicates "German"-Ruotski= "Swedish"
Hi, Bill,

I posted that list here a few weeks ago, along with a list of the Finnish Indoors Championships. Ditto for the same two events at the Norwegian Championships and the Danish Championships. Mauro then added them to the main pages.

Oh good grief. Silly error on my part.

At least 1 good thing did come of it. The 1948 winner Maire Harlin is the same as the 1949 winner Maire Arni. Maire Harlin was married in 1948-49.

A couple of first names of early winners/runners-up at the Scottish Hard Court Championships:

J. Rankine -> Jean Rankine
J. Riddick -> Jessie Riddick
--

The E. Walker who won the women's singles title at the Scottish Championships in 1958 was E.A. Walker, known as Anne.

1966 (July 4-10) Final Schultze Hoesl d. Buding 75 46 61
1974 Final Ebbinghaus d. Niessen Masthoff 62 61
And by using Andrew's dates and the New York Times I was able to find the score for the 1956 final-it was 6-1 13-11.

Not sure how it impacts your format Jimbo-Brewer had not yet wed Segal at this point.
Thanks to Andrew and Rollo, I have all added.

Thanks Andrew, I have added them.

About Munich 1966, in our yearly thread there is written that from August 15 the final was "postponed until September 24 because of rain".
And I copy here a roll of honour taken from an official programme, where Helga Niessen is shown as winner in that year.
