German Championships/German Open (1896-2008)

An open, international women’s singles event was first held at the German Championships in 1896. The venue for the years 1896 and 1897 was the Uhlenhorst Club in Hamburg; from 1898-1901, the German Championships were held in Bad Homburg, a popular spa town in the state of Hesse. In 1902, the tournament returned to Hamburg; from this year onwards for a number of years it was held alternately at the Uhlenhorst Club and the Eisbahnverein vor dem Dammtor, the latter being another lawn tennis club in Hamburg.

Certain sources state that the German Championships were held in Berlin in the years immediately following the end of World War One (1920-27), but this is very unlikely, and the tournament was probably held in Hamburg once again during that particular period. As a consequence of World War One, tournaments in German-speaking countries were closed to overseas players in the years 1920-27, but became open to them again in 1928, when a large contingent of Australian players dominated the first truly international German Championships to be held for many years.

From 1928-35 and 1937-39, the tournament was definitely held in Hamburg. The German Championships were not held in 1936 because Germany was hosting the summer Olympic Games in that year, nor was the tournament held in the years 1940-47, due to World War Two and its consequences.

From 1948 to 1978 (inclusive), the tournament was once again held in Hamburg.
From 1949 to 1990, it was more exactly West German Championships, as East Germany had its own International Championships.
In 1979, the women’s events were moved to a different venue and city, the Rot-Weiß lawn tennis club in Berlin; the men’s events continued to be held in Hamburg. In 1979, the women’s tournament was also moved up the calendar, to late May; the tournament as a whole had originally been held circa mid-August. The surface was always clay.

No women’s German Open was held in 1980. From 1981 until 2008, the women’s German Championships tournament had the following official names:

1981-1988 German Open
1989-1990 Lufthansa Open
1991-1992 Lufthansa Cup German Open
1993-2000 German Open
2001-2002 Eurocard German Open
2003 MasterCard German Open
2004 Ladies’ German Open
2005 Qatar Total German Open
2006-2008 Qatar Telecom German Open

In 2008, the women’s events at the German Championships were discontinued. A men’s tournament continues to be held in Hamburg.

Hamburg, Germany

Originally held in Hittfeld, to the south of Hamburg, this tournament was moved to Hamburg itself in 1987, when it was held in September. After some early changes, in 1989 its position in the calendar became fixed at the end of April/beginning of May. The tournament was not held in the three years 1984-86. From the late 1980s until 2002, this tournament was one of the main women's clay court tournaments in the run-up to the French Open.

This Hamburg tournament was always held outdoors, on clay. In later years the permanent venue was the Rothenbaum Club. However, this tournament had a rather short life, being discontinued after 2002.

All-India Championships/National Lawn Tennis Championships of India

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.

Irish Championships/Irish Open

The Irish Championships were inaugurated in 1879. The tournament as a whole was initially held on the grass courts in Fitzwilliam Square, Dublin, close to the city centre. However, the first women’s singles event was at least partially held indoors, on an asphalt court laid on the rink of the Fitzwilliam Lawn Tennis Club in Upper Pembroke Street (around the corner from Fitzwilliam Square).

Starting in 1887, a women’s singles event had been held at the South of Ireland Championships in County Limerick, a few weeks after the first Wimbledon tournament. However, the Irish Championships in Dublin constituted the first major (so to speak) national tournament in the world to feature both a women’s singles and a mixed doubles event.

Up until 1908, the Irish Championships were held a few weeks before the Championships at Wimbledon, but subsequently almost always took place later in the calendar. From 1919 forward the event was traditionally the week after Wimbledon, a lucky circumstance that often netted the event a good field. Up until 1974 the Irish was an event of consequence. From 1974 the decline in staure was swift.

From 1903 to 1972, the tournament was held on the grass courts of the Fitzwilliam Lawn Tennis Club at Wilton Place, Dublin (with one exception, in 1967, when the tournament was held at Ashbrook Lawn Tennis Club, Rathgar, Dublin; this club is located quite far from the city centre, in south Dublin). By this time the tournament was being called the Irish Open. From 1973 to 1990, it was held at the new grounds of the Fitzwilliam Lawn Tennis Club in the Appian Way, Dublin, close to Wilton Place. Both the Appian Way and Wilton Place are a short bus ride from Dublin city centre. The surface was a hard (cement) court.

In 1991, the tournament moved to the Riverview Racquets and Fitness Club in Clonskeagh, Dublin, not very far from the Appian Way. The ITF states the surface was clay. In 1997, the men’s events moved to a different venue, while the women’s events remained in Clonskeagh, switching to an indoor carpet surface. From the year 2000, the women’s events were held at different venues in Dublin.

The last mixed doubles event was held in 1991.

The women’s singles and women’s doubles events were discontinued after 2005.

* in 1949, 1953, 1954, 1961, the website has different winners, but they are wrong for several motives:

- in 1953 our mixed winners are the same of the website, while its single's winner is different (It has inverted single's winners between '53 and '54)
- in 1961 the website writes Robin Schultze instead of Robin Blakelock (Helga Schultze won the following year)

Italian Internationals/Open, Roma

It's the youngest of the great national championships, having begun in 1930. In that inaugural year, Bill Tilden carried off the men’s title and Lili de Alvarez the women’s crown. That first tournament and the four which followed it were held in Milan but in 1935 the event was moved to the Foro Italico in Rome. The stadium, which had been built in 1925 close to the Colosseo in the neo-classical style in vogue at that time as it evoked the greatness of Ancient Rome, is surrounded by giant marble statues and pine trees and one of the most beautiful tennis arenas in the world.

The citizens of Roma had to wait until 1950 for the next edition of the “Internazionali d’Italia” as the championship was suspended from 1936-49 because of the Abyssinian and Second World Wars. In 1961, to celebrate the 100th anniversary of the founding of the modern Italian state, the tournament was held in Turin, the capital of Piedmont, whose King had become King of Italy in 1861. Throughout the 50s and 60s, the women’s event enjoyed its heyday, regularly attracting almost all the top players who were playing the European clay court circuit. During this period, it was seen as the most important event outside the Grand Slams. The first open edition was held in 1969, the Italian federation having resisted calls to declare the tournament open the previous year.

As the 1970s progressed, however, the event suffered heavily from the establishment of the Virginia Slims circuit and World Team Tennis. Nevertheless, it continued to attract the all the players who were not committed to WTT and remained the principal warm-up event for Roland Garros. In 1979, following the collapse of WTT, the WTA, in association with Colgate, made a major effort to restore the championships to their former glory. The women held their own separate event at the Foro Italico and the draw included six former champions. However, the 32-player draw meant that after completion of the first round, there were only 15 matches left to play and the crowds stayed away in droves. Because of this setback, the event was moved to Perugia the following year, where it stayed until 1984. The 1985 Taranto tournament, with prize money of only $50,000, was accorded the title of the Italian Open in 1985, but bore little resemblance to the championships of old. In 1986, a $75,000 event, the Ellesse Grand Prix, was staged at Perugia but the Italian federation refused to acknowledge it as the Italian Open. At that time, plans were already laid to bring the women’s championships back to the Foro Italico in Rome in 1987 in conjunction with IMG. Since 1987, the tournament has re-established itself as the second most important event in the European clay-court season together with the German Championships.

London Championships, Queen's Club

In 1881, a lawn tennis tournament was inaugurated at the London Athletic Club in Stamford Bridge; a top-class women's singles event was first held there in 1884, when the final was played over the best of five sets for the one and only time. A modest women's singles event had been held at this tournament in 1881, when the winner required only five games to win a set; there was no women's singles event at this tournament in 1882 and 1883.

In 1885, the tournament acquired the name of the London Championships. Five years later, in 1890, it was moved to a permanent venue at the Queen's Club in Kensington, London. The surface was always grass.

In 1887, a Challenge Round was instituted in the women's singles event. An asterisk (*) indicates that the holder was not defending her title, so the last match in the year in question was, in fact, an All-Comers' Final. The Challenge Round was definitively abolished in 1904.

In 1905, the London Championships tournament acquired a fixed position in the lawn tennis calendar when it was held in June, just before the Wimbledon tournament. Before 1905, the tournament had mainly been held in July, soon after Wimbledon.

In 1973, women's events were held at the London Championships for the last time. From 1974 to 1976, no tournament was held at the Queen's Club, but men's events resumed there in 1977. They are still held there today, starting two weeks before Wimbledon.

Madrid, Spain (Clay)

A tournament, usually in spring, was played since early 1900s, but it's difficult find the results and the exact denominations. Further mess is given by the denomination "Open de Espana" that sometimes appears, because we haven't again the full roll of honour of the Spanish Championships, held variously in San Sebastian, Barcelona, and just maybe in Madrid.
A parzial list of the various titles of the tournament:
1911-... Championship of Madrid
1960-67 Real Club de la Puerta de Hierro Internationals
1968-76 Trofeo Melia, Madrid International
1977-... Trofeo Gillette
1996-99 Open Paginas Amarillas Villa de Madrid
2000-02 Open de Espana Villa de Madrid
2003 Trofeo Union Fenosa
from 2009 Mutua Madrid Open, held a La Caja Magica

* This result is taken from "Spalding's Annual for 1916" , (where Eva Baker is present in Mixed results only, not in Singles.)
But in a following recapitulation it writes that Eva Baker won. And the Annual for 1917 writes that in 1916 "Miss Eva Baker successfully defended her title in the challenge round of the women's singles".
So it would seem that in 1915 Eva Baker won, not Bryan.
** the page on "Spalding's Annual" is cut, so the RU surname is incomplete.

Middlesex Championships, Chiswick Park, London, England (Grass)

Inaugurated in 1884, the Chiswick Park meeting was for decades one of the most popular tournaments in the British lawn tennis calendar. The first Chiswick Park tournament began in late July and ended in late August. It was described as follows in "The Field Lawn Tennis Calendar" (1885): “The new Chiswick Park Cricket and Lawn Tennis Club grounds, although only opened a very short time ago, had been found to be in such fine order for playing that it was at once resolved to hold a tournament. The notice was, of course, very short, but, notwithstanding this, the committee must be congratulated on the entries that they received.

“The prize list for each competition was of very liberal proportions for a first tournament – first, second and third prizes being offered for Gentlemen’s Singles, Ladies Singles and the Local Championship, and first and second prizes for Gentlemen’s Doubles and Ladies’ and Gentlemen’s Doubles. In addition to these competitions, there were also prizes for the club championships, both ladies and gentlemen. [...] Nine entered for the Ladies’ Singles, Miss Blanche Bingley and Miss Bourchier being the best.

“The grounds round the lawn tennis courts – of which any number can be made – are most tastefully laid out, and a very well-arranged pavilion gives the competitors every comfort that could be wished for.

“Miss Blanche Bingley very easily won her matches, with the exception of the one against Miss Bourchier, who played extremely well against her.

“This tournament was brought to a close on Saturday last in most beautiful weather. The attendance was much larger than on any of the previous days, and the spectators were well rewarded for coming, as some fine play was seen in more than one of the matches. [...] The committee are decidedly to be congratulated on the success of their first effort, and the tournament will, without doubt, take a leading position amongst the metropolitan meetings.”

The second edition of the tournament, held in 1885, was as popular as the first, if not more so. The following extracts, taken from "The Field Lawn Tennis Calendar" (1886), provide more insight into this nascent tournament: "The enterprise of the directors of the Chiswick Park Company has placed at the disposal of the inhabitants of the Western and South-Western suburbs of London one of the most charming lawn tennis grounds to be met with in the kingdom.

"Originally the park ground, studded here and there with well-grown trees, the place now assumes as pleasant though a different appearance. The undulating turf has been carefully levelled and relaid, pavilions have been erected, flowerbeds formed, shrubs planted, etc., with the result that, both for cricket and lawn tennis, the Chiswick Park grounds offer advantages not to be met with in any other district within twenty miles of London.

"The arrangements were excellent throughout the meeting, both players and spectators expressing great pleasure thereat. The courts were in excellent trim. On Saturday the proceedings were enlivened by the strains of the local volunteer band, and, at the conclusion of the the play, the prizes were presented by Lady Curtis, who accompanied each presentation with some suitable compliments."

In 1887, challenge cups were presented for the men's and women's singles events at the Chiswick Park tournament. This meant that a Challenge Round was in force from 1888 until the early 1900's. It was also from this point onwards that the tournament became known as the Middlesex Championships.

The continued success of the tournament was somewhat endangered around the beginning of the 1890's, possibly because of its position in the calendar, but in 1893, it was moved up the calendar, from July to late May/early June, a position that increased its popularity and ensured its survival for nearly five decades.

The tournament was not held during World War One and was postponed again in 1939 following the outbreak of World War Two. Unfortunately, it was not held again after the end of the latter war. It appears that the management committee had attempted to reduce ticket prices to guarantee the tournament's continued existence, but a compulsory purchase order meant that there was no possibility of this once great tournament ever being held again.

An asterisk (*) indicates that the holder did not defend her title, so there was no Challenge Round in that particular year, the winner of the All-Comers' Final becoming the new champion. [HO] means that the women's singles event in a particular year was handicap only.

Moscow Indoor Championships, Russia

In addition to the Moscow Outdoor Championships tournament first held in the summer of 1901, there was also a Moscow Indoor Championships tournament, held indoors in winter. The latter tournament was first held in 1937, when it consisted of just two events, a men's singles and a women's singles. A men's doubles event and a mixed doubles event were added in 1939, while a women's doubles event first took place in 1947, when the tournament resumed after World War Two (it had not been held from 1941 to 1946).

Moscow International Tournaments (1957-75)

The thaw which occurred in the mid-1950s in international relations between the Soviet Union and many other countries meant that Soviet players were free to travel to overseas tournaments, while overseas players could take part in a limited number of tournaments within the USSR, principally in Moscow. Advances in air travel in particular greatly facilitated such journeys.

The two main international tournaments in which overseas players took part within the Soviet in the years circa 1958-75 were both held in Moscow, one taking place early in the season, circa late February/early March, indoors, probably on a wooden or carpet court; the other tournament was held outdoors circa late July/early August, most likely on a clay court. (These two open tournaments should not be confused with two similar tournaments open only to Soviet players.)

The two Moscow tournaments open to both Soviet and overseas players had fluctuating fortunes, with participation by the latter often poor. These two tournaments lasted until circa the mid-1970s before being discontinued.

New South Wales Championships/Open, Sydney, Australia

The New South Wales Championships is among the oldest surviving tournaments on the international circuit – including Grand Slam events - and in 2005 celebrated its 120th birthday. From the mid 1885 to 1922, when the National Championships ceased to be a men-only event, the NSW and Victorian Championships (which began in 1884 but ceased to exist in 1971, since when the titles have been awarded to the winner of the Australian Open) were the leading events for Australian women. In fact, their status remained sufficiently high for Adrian Quist to write in the 1973 Encyclopedia of Tennis (edited by Max Robertson, p. 201) that from “an Australian viewpoint, the Championships of New South Wales (Sydney) and Victoria (Melbourne) carry almost the same prestige as the national titles.”

Traditionally held on the grass courts at White City in Sydney, they have been interrupted just once, from 1941-44 during WWII. In 1989, the surface switched to Rebound Ace, to bring the event in line with the surface used at the Australian Open at Flinders Park and at the turn of the millennium, the tournament left White City for the NSW tennis centre at Homebush Bay, which had been constructed for the 2000 Sydney Olympics.

In the years before 1958, the roll of honour of the championships contains few foreigners and it took 49 years (1934) before Britain’s Dorothy Round became the first foreign winner. She remained the only non-Australian champion until Americans Doris Hart (1948) and Maureen Connolly (1952) came along after World War II.
In the late 1950s and 1960s, doubtless due to a combination of Australian domination of men’s tennis raising the prestige of the Australian circuit and the rise in popularity of women’s tennis, the number of foreign competitors on the Australian circuit slowly began to increase.

A thread with a year by year summary of this event may be found at:

An asterisk (*) indicates that the defending champion did not take part in the tournament, the match in question therefore being an All-Comers’ Final.

Niagara-on-the-Lake International, Canada

The Niagara-on-the-Lake International tournament was first held in 1885 and, in several years, managed to attract a number of the top American players. Indeed, it is clear from the records that the top American players tended to prefer this tournament, which was usually held in mid- to late August, over the open Canadian Championships.

In the early years the women's singles final at this tournament was played over the best of five sets several times.

The Niagara-on-the-Lake International tournament was held on grass courts. It continued on for a number of years after World War One.

Nice, France (Clay)

Venue: Nice LTC at Place Mozart, moved to the Imperial Park in 1921 or 1922

Tennis came to the Riviera with the English, who descended en masse on the Cote d'Azur after Queen Victoria made it her holiday spot in the late 1800s. During the Riviera season (December-March) several events would be held in Nice, making things confusing at times. The main tournament was the South of France Championships, then there was the Nice Championships (Tournoi International de la ville de Nice), and we have also the Nice Lawn Tennis Club Champs.
After the WWII is difficult establish if were played the South of France Champs., or the Nice Championships. We have a roll of honour of "Tournoi International de la ville de Nice" , taken from an official programme of 1980s, that incorporates under this denomination tournaments from 1912 to 1938 that are clearly South of France Champs., and all tournaments after the WWII.
I will insert these last tournaments on South of France Champs., as it was the most important tournament.

Events below are listed by title:

South of France Championships

The “Times”, 23 March 1909 (quoted by Newmark in his thread http://www.tennisforum.com/showthrea...t=south+france ) writes that 1909 was the 15th edition of the tournament, and Spalding's Annual writes that 1912 was the 18th edition. Therefore we must think that the first edition was held in 1895, at least the men. (But the four tournaments 1895 '96 '97 '98 written below, in Nice Lawn Tennis Club Champs., maybe are the lacking first editions of the South of France Champs.)

North of England Championships, Scarborough

Generally held around mid-August, the North of England Championships was for many decades one of the most popular summer tournaments in the British lawn tennis calendar. The venue for the tournament was almost invariably Scarborough, a town located in the county of North Yorkshire, by the North Sea Coast. (Due to its location, Scarborough has always been popular with holidaymakers.) The only other place to host the North of England Championships was Harrogate, a spa town also situated in North Yorkshire; the tournament was held there once, in 1904.

For a number of years in the late 1880s/early 1890s the women's singles event featured a Challenge Round, meaning that the holder, if taking part, did not have to play through what was known as the All-Comers' event. In 1888, the Challenge Round match between Margaret Bracewell, the holder, and Bertha Steedman, was replayed from the start after rain had prevented it from being completed on finals day with the score at one set-all.

In the years 1894, 1896-98 and 1900, the tournament experienced a dip in fortunes (it was not held in 1895 and 1899) and probably had just the status of the Yorkshire Open (YO). Thereafter, the North of England Championships tournament was revived and continued on well into the 1960s. Open tennis no doubt continued to its eventual demise.

Northern Championships, England

Venue: Usually held at Manchester or Liverpool. Nicknamed "the Wimbledon of the North". Not to be confused with the North of England Chmps.

The “Northern Tournament”, officially known as the Northern Lawn Tennis Association Tournament, was first held in 1880; in that year and in the following year it was held in Manchester. There was no women’s singles event at the tournament in its first two years. In 1882, a women’s singles event was inaugurated and the tournament was held in Liverpool for the first time. In subsequent years it would be held alternately in Manchester and Liverpool. The actual venues were the Liverpool Cricket Ground in Aigburth, a suburb of Liverpool; and the Old Trafford Ground in Manchester.

A Challenge Round was in force from 1885 to 1905. An asterisk (*) after the score indicates that the defending champion did not take part in that particular year. In such cases the result of the All-Comers' Final is given.

From 1929 until 1939, a tournament was held in both Liverpool and Manchester. After World War Two, a single “Northern Tournament” was held in Manchester for several years.

The event saw a revival as a Wimbledon warmup event after World War II-8 Northern Champions also winning Wimbledon. As the French Open and tour events crowded the calendar in the mid 1970s the event declined. Men's events lasted until 2009.

*In 1964 the event was cancelled at the semifianl stage due to rain. Bueno, Moffitt, Caldwell, and Richey were in the semis. The 4 semifinalists refuse to play on a wet court after Truman slips and injures herself in the quarters. The event was then cancelled.


Thanks to Mark Ryan for the bulk of the information on this event up to 1930.

Northumberland Championships, Newcastle, England

Attempts made in the early 1880s to create a large annual tournament in the country of Northumberland, in north-east England, eventually resulted in the establishment of what became known as the Northumberland Championships. This tournament was held on grass courts during the summer, in Newcastle, a coastal town.

The Northumberland Championships survived for almost a century, mainly through the tournament's ability to attract a number of top players, albeit mainly British ones, on a consistent basis. It survived the coming of open tennis by fifteen years, more than many other old tournaments with a great tradition.
