From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The Canadian Covered Court Championships [1] was an indoor wood court tennis tournament first held in October 1920, at the Montreal Indoor Tennis Club, Montreal, Canada.[2] The initial edition of the tournament – and all subsequent editions held before World War Two – featured only two events: men’s singles and men’s doubles. The event ran annually until 1936.[3]
