Bio | She was a French tennis player at the end of the 19th century and beginning of the 20th century. In 1897 she became the first winner of the French Tennis Championship beating P. Girod, 6–3, 6–1. She also won the championship in 1898, 1899, 1902 and 1903. 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! 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. Sources are consistent in referring to her as Mlle Masson. |
