Info From "Lawn Tennis and Badminton", September 3, 1908: "This, the first annual open tournament at Geneva, was fixed to commence on August 19, but, owing to the large number of entries, a start was made on the previous day. The capital sand courts are located in the Parc des Eaux Vives about a mile from the town, on the borders of the lake."
