Info The venue was Wuppertal, a well known industrial city between Düsseldorf and Essen with a population of 350.000. There is of course no city named Wuppertal or a river named Wupper in Switzerland. One wonders how the tournament ended up being named Swiss by many sources.
This tournament marks the first appearance of Hans Nüsslein after the war. Apparently ,he was wounded at the end of the war and later contracted an illness which made it impossible to play competitive tennis. In the report it is stated that he just had completed a long rehabilitation in Switzerland.
