This appears to be a rather arbitrary rating of what constitutes a major event, especially in the old pro era. For example, why is the 1967 Wimbledon Pro considered a major, but not the Forest Hills Pro of 1957 to 1959? These two events were the most media-covered events in the tennis world at the time (the Forest Hills Pro was given feature-article status in TIME magazine and Sports Illustrated, unlike the fake US Pro in Cleveland).
Any ideas? It seems that no one is able or interested in defending the status of the fake US Pro in Cleveland from 1952 to 1961.

Good list but....

That's a good list but you have listed the US and Australian pre-1924 and French pre-1925 - when they weren't majors.

Three of our current 4 majors (to use the modern term 'Grand Slams' (a term I don't like)) have only been majors since 1924/1925 (French from 1925).

Majors from 1913 to 1923 were the World Hardcourt Championship, World Covered Court Championship, Wimbledon according to the ILTF which was the official organizing body of tennis. Now no matter what one thinks of the World Covered Court Championship it still was the official indoor World Championship ie Major. (Wimbledon still gets recognized as a major in 1972 and 1973 when the fields were weak - because it still was officially a major, similarly the fields at the Australian Open from 1972 to 1982 - still a major).

The French certainly shouldn't be listed pre-1925 as it was only open to French tennis club members.

The ILTF (for-runner to the ITF) officially recognised our current 4 majors from 1924 onwards (French from 1925)

The main point - is that like golf, what was a major has changed over time. When Bobby Jones did his Grand Slam in golf - they weren't the same majors as we have now. Similarly in tennis they have changed.

THe only ambiguous thing was the US Championships pre-1924. They weren't officially a major but people treated them unofficially as such.

Tournament of Champions

This appears to be a rather arbitrary rating of what constitutes a major event, especially in the old pro era. For example, why is the 1967 Wimbledon Pro considered a major, but not the Forest Hills Pro of 1957 to 1959? These two events were the most media-covered events in the tennis world at the time (the Forest Hills Pro was given feature-article status in TIME magazine and Sports Illustrated, unlike the fake US Pro in Cleveland).
Any ideas? It seems that no one is able or interested in defending the status of the fake US Pro in Cleveland from 1952 to 1961.

Agree about Forest Hills Pro (actually the tournament of champions - from 1956 - when it was in LA). Should be listed as a major. Time Magazine certainly rated it as an important event in 1959 - commenting on Hoad's win over Gonzales.

Having said that I applaud the effort as to often people simply judge pre-1968 tennis by the current 4 'Grand Slam' events (hate that term!).

1968 Australian Championship

"1968 Australian Championships: William Bowrey"

that can't be rated as a top event. It was still amateur.

 

[Mustard]

"1968 Australian Championships: William Bowrey"

that can't be rated as a top event. It was still amateur.

This doesn't make sense. Every Australian Championships before the open era was amateur only.

I have made changes to the OP. I've omitted the French pre-1925, the Australasian pre-1924 and the US in 1881 (only open to US club players that year), and have included the World Hardcourt Championships, the World Covered Court Championships and the Forest Hills Pro of 1956-1959. I have continued to count the US Championships from 1882 onwards.

So the majors are:

Open majors
Australian Open (1969-January 1977, December 1977-1985, 1987-Present Day)
French Open (1968-Present Day)
Wimbledon (1968-Present Day)
US Open (1968-Present Day)

Pro majors
World Pro (1932-1933)
French Pro (1930-1939, 1956, 1958-1967)
Wembley Pro (1934-1939, 1949-1953, 1956-1967)
US Pro (1927-1943, 1945-1967)
Tournament of Champions (1956-1959)
Wimbledon Pro (1967)

Amateur majors
Australian Championships (1927-1940, 1946-1968 )
French Championships (1925-1939, 1946-1967)
Wimbledon (1877-1914, 1919-1939, 1946-1967)
US Championships (1882-1967)
World Hard Court Championships (1912-1914, 1920-1923)
World Covered Court Championships (1913, 1919-1923)
Australasian Championships (1924-1926)

As much i respect those trys to give a deeper insight into tennis history, there are methodical problems. One problem with those lists is, that one has to prove every event in each year separately, which constitutes an important event. On the old pro tour there was no stable circuit of events, it changed from year to year. Even in the early years of open tennis, one has to prove the official majors, which often lacked the best players, and compare them with other leading events, which had better fields. Together with Carlo and others, we tried to establish four most important events for each year, according to the strengths of the draws. Sgt. John made a good list of the 4 most important events each year in an earlier thread here on TT, even trying to include surface diversion. Not only the pro Forest Hills round robin (in 1959 final) of 1957-1959 is to be reckoned with on the pro tour, but also - for some years - such events like the US pro indoor, played at New York, the Madison Square Garden pro, or the Forest Hills round robin.

 

[BTURNER]

All I know is that according the the above, Rosewall and Laver were awfully piggish and greedy in the 60's and early 70's. the type of folks that would take all the ribs at the company BBQ. Not very polite at all.

Minor point

I like the list.

Just a minor point. You might want to change the name from Forest Hills Pro to Tournament of Champions - because the 1956 edition wasn't at Forest Hills.

Wonder where the Madison Square Gardens Pro of the mid-60's fits in?

The "strength of the draws" does not give you a good determination because even lesser pro events before and after1968 could have an impressive field. But who would call Oklahoma City or Johannesburg majors (despite their big-sounding titles)? These minor events might have a strong field, but someone like Gimeno or Stolle was likely to win them.
I would suggest that the old pro events at Wimbledon (1967 only), Forest Hills (including the pre-1952 and 1963 US Pro, plus the 1941 Forest Hills), Roland Garros (1956, 1958, 1959, 1960, 1961, 1962, 1968), Kooyong (1958, 1959, 1960, 1962) should be given major status ahead of the indoor tournaments (which were heavily smoked). These were the locations of the four recognized amateur and open majors (although the Aussie Open moved around, Kooyong was the foremost tennis location).

Just done this

 

[Dan Lobb]

I notice that Butch Bucholz is listed as the US Pro champ for 1962, although the tournament he won was actually called the World Professional Championships at Cleveland, while the official US Pro was held at Washington, D.C. and was won by Tut Bartzen (surely, one of the all-time great players) who defeated the ubiquitous Sammy Giammalva in the final.
This was the first official US Pro since the 1951 event at Forest Hills, where Segura defeated Gonzales in the final.
It seems that the Cleveland promoter knew that his time was up in 1962 when he conceded the inevitable and changed the name of his event.

I wouldn't make too much of the title "Tournament of Champions", which Jack Kramer cooked up as a sales gimmick, and which he applied rather loosely to a number of his events. For example, in December, 1959 the Sydney tournament was billed "Tournament of Champions", just as the Forest Hills Pro had been a few months earlier. Were there two Tournament of Champions in the same season?
The pros used titles freely, and they should not be taken too seriously. The Cleveland US Pro was actually not the official event, but was simply a marketing ploy.
The real basis of a major is the location and the stadium, the quality of which determined the status of the tournament.

What´s wrong with Gimeno and Stolle?

 

[MG1]

Mustard..

Can you make the list for the maximum no. of major event winners.(as per above data)

I posted one list earlier on another thread in which Rosewell having 26 & Laver 22

In that list all amatuer+Pro+Open majors and some other events like 1967 wimbledon Pro were included.

 

[Dan Lobb]

What´s wrong with Gimeno and Stolle?

Nothing wrong with them, but I think you will agree that their victories came in the less prestigious tournaments (although Stolle luckily won the 1966 Forest Hills final after Newcombe sprained his ankle after winning the first set).
Gimeno got lucky at the French Open in 1972, an event boycotted by the main pros.

Gimeno beat Laver and Rosewall at the Worlds Pros.Stolle won Roland Garros by beating Tony Roche.

 

[Dan Lobb]

Gimeno beat Laver and Rosewall at the Worlds Pros.Stolle won Roland Garros by beating Tony Roche.

The so-called "World Pros" was actually a minor event in Oklahoma City!
Again, folks, don't get fooled by the titles. Just because someone claims to be the US Pro or the World Pro (really, just the Cleveland and Oklahoma stops of a four-man tour), doesn't mean you should believe them. Several tournaments claimed to be the world championships.
I like what Hoad said in 1985.
"If I was playing an important final, I would try my best, but if it was the final of the Hamburger Open (there actually was a Burger King Pro Championship) against a player I knew I could beat, well...(he shrugged his shoulders)"
You cannot expect Hoad or Laver to win every weekend. Gimeno and Stolle have to be given some scraps (like Oklahoma City and Cleveland).

I guess the Masters and WCT finals replaced major pros in the 70´s and 80´s, or at least, they are somewhat comparable, once that open tennis allowed everybody play the Gran Slam titles ( except when WCT players were banned, of course)

 

[Mustard]

The earliest of tennis legends internationally seem to be Laurie Doherty, a dominant Wimbledon champion who managed to win the US Championships (still one of only two Brits to win the tournament along with Fred Perry), and Anthony Wilding, who seemed utterly dominant in the years before the first world war, especially 1913 when he won the WHCC, Wimbledon and the WCCC.

Before the 2 Doherty´s, back in the...XIX century, there were the Renshwas, the first real legendary Wimbleodn champions, along very young girl Lottie Dodd.

In the first decade of the XX century, US had players that merely played US events (Boston,Newport,Merion,Forest Hills), like Richards,Larned,Sears ( who had the record for consecutive wins until Tilden broke it in the 1920´s) and Mr Davis, the guy that invented the Davis Cup.

later on, there were 2 dominants players: Brookes and Wilding, both from Australassia and they dominated the scene before the WWI ( the other 2 great players of that era were US Mc Laughlin, arguably the first S&V ever and french Decugis, who should have been appointed the fourth mousketeer instead of Brugnon IMO)

 

[Mustard]

There was Bill Tilden's rival, Bill Johnston, as well.

 

[kiki]

Dodd and Lambert Chambers first, and then Lenglen and Wills were the women´s equivalents to the Renshaws,Doherty,Tilden and Mousketeers.

 

[kiki]

Just thinking, it all depends on the number of players you pick.

If I had to put my best top 3, it´d be Borg/Connors/Mc Enroe in 1980.

If, instead, I was asked top 4, I think 1963 or 1964 Laver/Rosewall/Hoad/Gonzales group offered the peakest tennis ever

Then, the 1981 of Borg/mc Enroe/Connors/Lendl

Let´s go to top 6.No doubt it is Kramer,Sedgman,Gonzales,Hoad,Rosewall and Trabert in 1958 or 1959.

1971 was huge too, as was 1979 (Borg,Mc Enroe,Connors,Gerulaitis,Tanner and Vilas)

Here a choice for top 10 ( no particular order):

1971: Laver,Newcombe,Rosewall,Ashe,Nastase,Kodes,Smith,Roche,Gimeno and OKker

1975:
Borg,Connors,Ashe,Nastase,Vilas,Orantes,Panatta,ramirez,Dibbs and Rosewall/Laver

1985:
Mac,Lendl,Connors,Wilander,Becker,Edberg,Cash,Noah,Kriek,Gomez

1994:
Sampras,Agassi,Rafter,Courier,Becker,Edberg,Chang,Stich,Bruguera,Ivanisevic/Krajicek

So, it depends on which number you cut it off.

 

[Doug_Hartley_2012]

It's no accident that Rosewall and Laver lead the title count. Even allowing for the mix of amateur, pro and open 'Majors, these two guys - more than any other pairing - transcended the challenges of their time and carved out awesome playing careers that just went on and on as they thrived against successive waves of challengers. I think Tilden and Gonzales also rate respectably when you similarly compile their collections of titles. It just helps to put the performances of Sampras and Federer in a bit of context. Tremendous, but just the latest in a procession of champions among champions.

Rosewall was a generous man. He was on his way to Wimbledon in the late 1950's (?) and stopped in California to have a practice match with junior player Dennis Ralston. Ralston overwhelmed the pro.

As I said, and argued seeing both backhands, it is so hard for me to watch the Lvaer/Rosewall rivalry and take part for any of the two...as I posted, it is lie asking who you love more, dad or mom? it is just umpossible.

Let´s say that, plain and clear, that rivalry may have left some of the most unforgetable memories of tennis history...and, ABMK or TMF asre just too unmatur to understand that tennis is a sport to enjoy, and the talent of both players is well above rackets,heights,shorts,balls and all those things that do not allow them to enjoy tennis.

In the early 1970's, Rosewall stopped at a tennis club in Toronto with media present, and played a practice match against the local club pro, a young man who had pushed me off of my university tennis team.
Rosewall was completely whipped by the young man, who gained a lot of local fame, which helped his career as a club pro greatly. Rosewall was a generous soul.

There was a major pro tournament at Roland Garros in 1968 (nineteen sixty-eight).
When any pro tournament was held at Wimbledon (only one), Forest Hills (many, but not always the US Pro), Roland Garros (1956, 1958, 1959, 1960, 1962, 1968 ie. nineteen sixty-eight), Kooyong (1958 (fifty-eight), 1959, 1960, 1962), it should be regarded as a major, simply because these were the major venues for tennis.
The indoor smokies, Wembley and Stade Coubertin in particular, are often reported in the London Times as building up dense smoke as the matches progressed, and affecting the level of play.
This is a serious downgrade for the indoors, before the era when good air-conditioning and the smoking bans came into effect.

It's no accident that Rosewall and Laver lead the title count. Even allowing for the mix of amateur, pro and open 'Majors, these two guys - more than any other pairing - transcended the challenges of their time and carved out awesome playing careers that just went on and on as they thrived against successive waves of challengers. I think Tilden and Gonzales also rate respectably when you similarly compile their collections of titles. It just helps to put the performances of Sampras and Federer in a bit of context. Tremendous, but just the latest in a procession of champions among champions.

Their 1972 Dallas match gave tennis an unprecedented lift, specially TV coverage.It certainly marked a new time and this puts it in a class alone.

It is hard to conceive Laver without Rosewall or Rosewall without Laver.Both had another big generational aussie rival, though:Hoad for Ken and Emerson for Rod.Extremely doggy rivalries, even if Laver vs Rosewall has trascended its own time.

I just remembered someone who made a HUGE list about something like every single tournament match BJK had played, and the thread got removed...

I thought it would be interesting to highlight the years when one player won three of the four majors:

I notice that you failed to highlight both 3-winners in 1956.

 

[Mustard]

I notice that you failed to highlight both 3-winners in 1956.

Uh? Both Hoad and Gonzales in 1956 are there.

 

[Dan Lobb]

Uh? Both Hoad and Gonzales in 1956 are there.

Sorry, I thought that highlight meant bold type.
