  • * It seems to be a different tournament from the Amateur Championships of France won by Maurice Germot over Max Décugis in 1906 where very few foreign players were admitted
  • ** It seems to be a different tournament from the previous one held in the same city
  • *** It is not clear if it was a different tournament from the following one in the list
  • **** The All England Plate was a tournament played by the losers of the first two rounds of the Wimbledon Men's Singles tournament (in 1907 Wilding lost in five sets in the 2nd round to the future winner Norman Everard Brookes)
  • ***** Up until 1921, the winners of the previous year's competition (except in the Ladies Doubles and Mixed Doubles) were automatically granted byes into the final round (then known as the challenge round). This led to many winners retaining their titles for successive years, as they were able to rest while their opponent competed from the start of the competition. From 1922, the title holders played through from the start of the championships.
  • ****** "Hard Court" in the Commonwealth countries (UK, Australia, ...) means "Clay Court"
