The Czechoslovakian International Championships was a tennis tournament held between 1920 and 1985.

History

The tournament began soon after Czechoslovakia began as a country (there were tournaments before that such as the Bohemian Crown Lands Championships). The tournament had many winners from overseas, including winners of Grand Slam singles titles Henri Cochet,[1] Fred Perry,[1] Don Budge,[1] József Asbóth,[1] Nicola Pietrangeli,[1] and Tony Roche.[1] Also, Czechoslovak players that won Grand Slam singles titles Jaroslav Drobný,[1] Jan Kodeš[1] and Ivan Lendl[1] also won the title.

The tournament was held on clay courts and was typically held in June or July, but sometimes as early as April or as late as September.

From 1939 to May 1945 Czechoslovakia ceased to exist. Bohemia and Moravia became a Protectorate overseen by Nazi Germany. The Czechoslovakian International Championships resumed in July 1945.

When the Grand Prix circuit began in the 1970s, the tournament was not part of it. The tournament was held exclusively in Prague until the mid-1960s and then was held in other cities such as Bratislava and Ostrava (and one year in Přerov). A Czech Grand Prix tournament, the Prague Grand Prix, was held from 1987 to 1989. When the ATP Tour began, they had the Czechoslovak Open, which became the Czech Open, which was held throughout the 1990s.

Notes

  1. ^ Bohemia-Moravia became a Protectorate of Nazi Germany at the end of the 1930s, so the tournaments of 1939-44 were the Protectorate Championships. From 1941 to 1944 these were national events.
