Results Overview

Welcome to this section on Australian Singles Tennis Results.  PLEASE NOTE UNDER "OTHER" (LINKS)  THERE ARE SOME EXCELLENT SITES WHICH DELIVER PLAYER RESULTS IN THE GRAND SLAMS, DAVIS CUP and OTHER OS TOURNAMENTS.

You are bound to find what you are looking for at one of them.

What you will see in this section is the work of South Australian, Andrew Tasiopoulos who has spent countless hours poring over newspapers, association reports, club newsletters, results books etc. to develop these very important records for players and events from the 1880's through to 2007.  We at tennishistory.com.au thank Andrew for his permission to present this work on our site as a way of helping former players, families and tennis fans gain some knowledge into the way tennis evolved in Australia from the very early days.

Country tournaments, Inter colonial matches and State competitions were well represented by many champion players of the time mixed with local and district champions. To many, some great players who were just a level below the recognised greats may be unheard of, yet you will find it fascinating to learn of champions who dominated their region for long periods or who enjoyed a rivalry with opponents where finals were often played off between the pair year after year.

Each of the files is presented in Flash and you will notice that files can be searched.

There are three files for men's singles and women's singles sorted alphabetically by event and player and chronologically.

Men By Event

Men By Winner

Men By Year

Women By Event

Women By Winner

Women By Year

Viewing these files, please appreciate the level of effort that Andrew and we know of others, like Clive Oliver, have spent to actually find this often missing information. We hope that Tennis Australia finds a way to allocate funds to compensate and reward such efforts in order to continue the process to include doubles, mixed doubles and even pennant and association tennis. Perhaps a book about the History of tennis in Australia could be published in which these results could be included as a permanent record of achievement.  It may not be a cheap exercise, however the numbers of players and clubs must surely represent a significant target market to justify such a project even if the financial outcome was a breakeven. We note with interest that Queensland have a "Century of Queensland Tennis", 'Tennis West' for WA and no recent histories for NSW, Tasmania or Victoria except for some individual club productions.

If you wish to view finals results for Australian players (and all others) in Grand Slam Events, we recommend you to visit this excellent search engine site.  www.grandslamhistory.com For others as mentioned check out our links page.
