Romeo Acquarone |
Romeo Acquarone (1895 – 1980) was a professional tennis player born in Monaco [1]. He became a French citizen in 1937 [2]. Acquarone won the Bristol Cup in France in 1920 (beating Joseph Negro in the final). The Bristol Cup was the top professional tournament in the world in the 1920s. Before 1930 some tournaments were sometimes labelled "Professional Championships of France": the Bristol Cup (held from 1920 to 1932), the most important pro tournament in the world in the 1920s, was sometimes referred as the French Pro[4] as well as the World Pro tournament held at Deauville in 1925.[5] Therefore, two different tournaments were both considered as French Pro Championships in 1925 (World Pro at Deauville and Bristol Cup at Cannes) and from 1930 to 1932 (Roland Garros and Bristol Cup at Beaulieu).[6] Date Event City Champions Runners-up Score 20–26 December 1920 Bristol Cup Cannes Monaco Romeo Acquarone France Joseph Negro 3–6, 7–5, 5–7, 6–2, 6–3[7] 12–18 December 1921 Bristol Cup Cannes United Kingdom John C.

The tournament only had a men's draw.[citation needed] From 1930 the French Pro Championship were always played at Paris, on outdoor clay at Roland Garros except from 1963 to 1967 where it was held at Stade Pierre de Coubertin on indoor wood. Ken Rosewall holds the record for 8 wins overall and 7 consecutive wins. There was a tournament played on indoor cement in 1953 at the Palais des Sports. It is listed in the table below, but there is no suggestion that it was seen as a French Pro
