Carpet or Hard Court?

Latest comment: 5 years ago1 comment1 person in discussion

Per the newspaper sources this event was played on thin carpet. If there are multiple sources to the contrary then please bring them forth. To quote one newspaper "The Providence" on Dec 6 1971:

"Smith and Barthes now have two victories each. Ilie Nastase of Romania has one victory. Kodes one victory and one defeat, Graebner one defeat, and Richey and Franulovic two defeats. The double losses leave Richey and Franulovic little hope of capturing the $15,000 first prize in the tournament being played on a fast synthetic carpet at the Coubertin Stadium."

With that source we will need some strong denials from other sources. Fyunck(click) (talk) 09:26, 26 October 2019 (UTC)Reply
