Info In this year the Monte Carlo main Event,the Lawn Tennis Championships of Monaco,became an open tournament for the first time.To escape the competition with the South African Open,which were also traditionally held during the Easter week,the officials decided to stage the open championships in the week of 14.-20.IV.1969.Since they were also eager to secure the easter date,this amateur tournament was created.
