| Bio | She was a French tennis player at the end of the 19th century and beginning of the 20th century. The daughter of Armand Masson, the founder of the Tennis Club de Paris, in 1897 she became the first winner of the French Tennis Championship beating Suzanne Girod in two sets, 6-3, 6-1. She also won the championship in 1898 and 1899 because there was no opposition and in 1902 and 1903 against Girod and Kate Gillou respectively. She lost the 1904 final to Katie Gillou Fenwick. A 5-time winner in all, she did not have to play a match in taking two titles, as there were no other entrants! In 1907 she won the inaugural French doubles championships partnering Yvonne de Pfeffel. She nearly won the 1902 French mixed with her brother, Willy. The Massons had lived in Canada for a while, where Armand Masson was a successful businessman. Armand organised the first French Indoor Championships, where Adine was the winner from 1895 to 1897. |
