Henri Jean Cochet (French:

world No. 1 ranked player, and a member of the famous "Four Musketeers" from France who dominated tennis in the late 1920s and early 1930s.[5]

Born in

world No. 1 player for four consecutive years, 1928[7] through 1931 by A. Wallis Myers.[8][9] Cochet turned professional in 1933, but after a less than stellar pro career, he was reinstated as an amateur in 1945 after the end of World War II.[1]

The Four Musketeers were inducted simultaneously into the International Tennis Hall of Fame in Newport, Rhode Island in 1976. Cochet died in 1987 in Paris at age 85.

Early life and family

Henri Cochet was born on 14 December 1901 in

1921 French Closed Championships where he repeated his victory over Borotra and subsequently broke into the top ten French rankings at the end of the year.[13][14] Also in 1921 he won the Military Championship of France.[15] Meanwhile, his sister Aimée (Charpenel) Cochet also became a tennis player and competed in the main draw of the 1930 Wimbledon Championships.[16]

Tennis career

Rise to prominence (1922–1925)

Cochet at the French Championships in 1922

In February 1922 Cochet traveled to the

Jean Samazeuilh in the final.[13][14][17] Afterwards Cochet topped the French rankings.[17] In June 1922 he debuted in the French Davis Cup team against Denmark and won both his singles and the doubles match. In the next round the team only composed of him and André Gobert and fell to the Australasian team.[17] Cochet also found moderate success in the minor tournaments; at the South of France Championships he lost to Russian Count Mikhail Sumarokov-Elston.[18] At the Côte d'Azur Championships Cochet warded off the Englishman Morgan for his first Riviera title.[19] After winning the Hard and Clay Court World Championships in 1922 Cochet was ranked 6th by A. Wallis Myers's world's best ten lista .[20]

In February 1923 Cochet retained his World Covered Court Championships title, defeating John B. Gilbert in the final in straight sets.[21] On 1 April 1924 he met René Lacoste in the championships match for the Beausite trophy of Cannes and beat his compatriot in straight sets.[22] At the 1924 Summer Olympics Cochet won the silver medal in both the singles and doubles with his teammate Borotra, while Vincent Richards took the gold for the United States in both events,[23] pairing with Frank Hunter for the latter.[13][24] He was ranked the number one player of France alongside Lacoste and Borotra at the end of the year[25] and was ranked 9th in A. Wallis Myers' world ranking list for 1924.[26] Due to his business affairs and injuries Cochet missed most of the 1925 season,[24] while he kept his French first place shared with Borotra.[27] The French International Championships of that year marked the first instance of an all-Four Musketeers final in the doubles of the Championships where Brugnon and Lacoste were victorious against Cochet and Borotra.[28]

The Musketeers Era (1926–1933)

International success (1926–1927)

In January 1926, Cochet defeated

Norris Williams.[34] At the so-called "Black Thursday", three Americans yielded to the French, Cochet defeated Tilden, ending his six-year winning streak at Forest Hills and only lost to compatriot Lacoste who became the first foreign US champion since Laurence Doherty in 1903.[34][35] Cochet was ranked in the top three in A. Wallis Myers 1926 World rankings[36] and world second in doubles with Jean Borotra.[37]

He began his 1927 training in

Marseilles he was upset by Christian Boussus in the semi-finals.[15] In April at the Championnats de la Côte Basque of Pau he overcame Eduardo Flaquer in singles, and with Jacques Brugnon finished second behind the Spanish duo of Flaquer and Raimundo Morales-Marquez, while the mixed went also to Cochet and Germaine le Conte.[43] In June the Four Musketeers held their second all-French doubles final of the 1927 French Championships where Cochet and Brugnon beat Borotra and Lacoste.[28]

All these achievements were a prelude to the 1927 Wimbledon Championships where in successive rounds fourth-seeded Cochet defeated two leading Americans Frank Hunter and Bill Tilden and finally Jean Borotra in remarkable five set matches, all of whom had a two-sets advantage against him.[44][45] Tilden served for the match, leading 5–1 in the third set and had a match ball.[44][46] In the final Borotra left six match points unconverted to open the route for Cochet's revival.[44] With the latter one Cochet set a Wimbledon final comeback record that stands up to this day.[47] He then again met Hunter and Tilden in the final of the doubles, this time he joining forces with Jacques Brugnon and lost the championship despite having a match point.[45] This was the first of three consecutive encounters between the French and American teams as in early September the 1927 Davis Cup final took place in the United States where the US Davis Cup team led by Tilden and Hunter faced the challenging team of the Musketeers.[45] France won 3–2 with Cochet victorious in the decider against Bill Johnston and reclaiming the Davis Cup for France the first time since 1920.[45] A couple of days later the French troupe went to compete in the U.S. National Championships at the West Side Tennis Club in New York. Cochet and Eileen Bennett became the mixed doubles champions.[45] When he returned home in the first week of October Cochet took revenge on Christian Boussus in their second meeting in the final of the Coupe Porée of Paris.[48] The same week he was ranked third in the world for the second consecutive year although this time he finished ahead of compatriot Borotra.[49] In November he won the Swiss Covered Courts Internationals in a short twenty-five-minute final against Donald Greig.[50]

Breakthrough season (1928)

Cochet in 1928

1928 was the first year of Cochet's hegemony of the world rankings. This was the result of his overall season, that as usual commenced on the French Riviera. Prior to that he was drafted into a

Marseilles versus Emmanuel du Plaix and in the mixed with Cilly Aussem.[64] The Miramar L.T.C. tournament in Juan-les-Pins resulted in a three set final between René Gallèpe of Monaco and Cochet and ended in favor of the Frenchman.[64]

Cochet then set to compete across Europe. As the reigning champions the

USLTA player in a three-set championship match.[68] On 6 July at the 1928 Wimbledon Championships Lacoste equalized with a victory over Cochet and deprived him of the title.[69][70] Cochet and Bennett lost in the mixed quarterfinals.[69][70] Cochet and Brugnon won the doubles again over Gerald Patterson and John Hawkes after their 1926 triumph.[70] At the end of July in the Challenge round of the Davis Cup at Roland Garros the Musketeers, with the absence of Brugnon, defeated the United States to keep the trophy in French possession.[71] Cochet won all three of his rubbers.[71]

The overseas campaign of Cochet started at the

Racing Club de Paris, Cochet's club, visited Hamburg for an inter-club match.[74] The French team left with a landslide victory over the German top ranked players; the score was eleven to one.[74] He finished the year with the Coupe de Noël in Paris during the last days of December.[75] The final saw Jean Borotra forfeiting to Cochet.[75]

Cochet was ranked World No. 1 amateur in 1928 by A. Wallis Myers,

F. Gordon Lowe[79] (The Scotsman), W. J. Daish[78] and Vincent Richards.[80]

French dominance (1929)

The 1929 season did not begin as flawless as the previous one; on 20 January

Franz Wilhelm Matejka and claimed the doubles with Roger Danet.[86] He claimed the Czechoslovakian Championships from fellow countryman Christian Boussus.[87] They joined forces and together won the doubles.[87]

In May at the 34th French Championships the men's doubles tournament took place first.[88] With Lacoste – Borotra's victory over Tilden – Hunter and Cochet – Brugnon's easy win over Gregory – Collins in the semi-finals secured the Four Musketeers their third doubles face-to-face final.[88] Unfortunately for Cochet in the fifth set they were serving for the match and had thirty-love in the game, when Brugnon missed an easy ball when three match points were at stake.[88] Lacoste and Borotra revived from that moment on and closed out the final set 8–6.[88] In singles he was put out of the contest by Borotra in the semi-finals and thus was unable to retain his title.[88] However, Cochet did not leave without a trophy as the mixed championship was earned by him and Eileen Bennett Whittingstall.[88]

Cochet then set out for an exhibition tour through central Europe in June, playing in Budapest, Belgrade and Vienna.[89]

Rivalry with the United States team
Cochet in 1929
The United States Davis Cup team

Cochet was seeded first at the

Hendrik Timmer in straights, then Bill Tilden in the semi-finals also in straights and second seeded compatriot Jean Borotra for the championship in his third straight sets victory in a row. Despite this he lost 63 games throughout the tournament, which was the most among the seeded players (third-seeded semi-finalist Tilden only lost 27). In doubles he reached the quarterfinals with Jacques Brugnon but was beaten by Wilmer Allison and John Van Ryn, who later became champions. In the mixed doubles draw the titleholders Cochet and Eileen Bennett Whittingstall lost to eventual runners-up Joan Fry and Ian Collins in three sets.[90] The singles victory marked the sixth straight time that a French player won Wimbledon and the fifth time that the final was contested between two Frenchmen, counting from the first French victory in 1924. A couple of days later in the Regent's Park the top Wimbledon players participated in an exhibition event to raise funds for children of the British war cripples.[91]

In July the French team was challenged by the United States team in the 1929 Davis Cup three-day final. On 26 July 12,000 people watched the first day of the encounter at the Roland Garros stadium. The French squad took the lead when Borotra beat George Lott. The second match was scheduled between Cochet and Tilden. The American started off poorly; he was not able to win one single point in the first game, hit many unforced errors, especially in the longer rallies, and Cochet pulled away and took the set. In the second Tilden forced a backhand game, but it did not pay off, and he lost that set as well, six games to one. Tilden relied on his serves but was only capable of winning six games in the whole match when he lost the third set six to two. According to contemporary statistics Cochet did not hit any unforced errors of faults during the match. The next day French captain Pierre Gillou sent Cochet and Borotra for the doubles rubber. Cochet was exhausted and showed the opposite form compared to the previous day. Despite all efforts by his partner Borotra, Cochet hit most of the balls out or into the net. The American duo of Wilmer Allison and John Van Ryn took a three-set win. The third day Tilden saved the hopes for his team when he beat Borotra in front of a capacity crowd of 15,000. The deciding rubber was between Cochet and George Lott. Cochet won in four sets and claimed the Cup for France for the third time.[92]

After the Davis Cup tie Cochet only played in minor tournament and doubles matches. He won the singles in

U.S.L.T.A. in New York.[100]

The Four Musketeers become three (1930)

In early 1930 Cochet decided to rest and only compete in doubles contests. He won at Gallia L.T.C.,

Belgian International Championships to Jean Borotra.[104] His most successful French Championships came in this year when he was close to winning a triple crown after being victorious in singles over Bill Tilden, in doubles with Jacques Brugnon over Harry Hopman and James Willard and was a finalist in the mixed tournament as well.[105] At the 1930 Wimbledon Championships he was seeded first but made an early exit after his straight-set loss to Wilmer Allison in the quarterfinals.[106] In the doubles Cochet—Brugnon lost in the semi-finals as well as in mixed doubles with Eileen Bennett Whittingstall.[105]

While playing tennis he took up volunteer coaching, training French children in Paris every Sunday.

John van Ryn and Wilmer Allison. Contrary to expectations it was Borotra who was the engine of the French pair. He won every service game, except for the third set where Cochet made a lot of errors at the net, and the French pair took the victory. Borotra thrilled the French spectators by beating Lott and keeping the Cup in France for another year. The dead rubber between Cochet and Tilden was won by the former.[107] At the end of the year Cochet was ranked World number one amateur by A. Wallis Myers,[108] Pierre Gillou,[109] and Didier Poulain (L'Auto)[110] but came second in the list of Bill Tilden behind Borotra.[8]

Health issues (1931)

In 1931 Cochet retained the Carlton L.T.C. doubles with Brugnon.

George Lyttleton-Rogers for his third Monaco Cup crown.[112] With Eileen Bennett Whittingstall they were crowned the mixed victors.[112] Cochet became the Danish Covered Courts champion for the first time after defeating Danish national champion Einer Ulrich in Copenhagen.[113] He won the mixed contest as well with Simone Barbier.[113] He was invited by his hometown club F.C. Lyon to an interclub match with German Uhlenhorster Klipper.[113] Cochet won all three of his matches.[113] In the Moncean Club of Paris he partnered Paul Féret and Colette Rosambert and swept the doubles and mixed doubles respectively.[113]

After these losses Cochet took two weeks off to recover. Despite the rest in the 1931 Wimbledon Championships he shocked the tennis world by losing in the very first round to Nigel Sharpe. In the mixed doubles Cochet and Eileen Bennett Whittingstall were not more successful, falling in the fourth round. The doubles final remained unconquered for Brugnon and Cochet as the team of George Lott and John Van Ryn came back from 3–2 down in the fifth set to win the match.[117] In July the Four Musketeers were ready to be challenged for the fifth time in the Davis Cup final. This time the opponent was the British Davis Cup team. In the first rubber Cochet was facing two set points for a two sets-love lead by Bunny Austin but fought back to claim the second set and won the next two for the match. Fred Perry battled through Borotra while the doubles were won by Cochet and Brugnon. Austin brought back the British hopes after a four set victory over the exhausted Borotra. The match was suspended multiple times due to rain, which made the court almost unsuitable for playing, which left its mark on the deciding rubber between Cochet and Perry. The recurring slight rain in the first set led Perry to drop the set from a 4–1 advantage. The second set went to Perry after he utilized passing shots as a counter for Cochet's net play. The third and fourth set however were taken by Cochet which gave the French team its fifth successive Davis Cup.[114]

Despite his turbulent year Cochet was ranked number one by A. Wallis Myers,[118] Pierre Gillou,[119] Didier Poulain,[120] Stanley Doust,[121] Bill Tilden,[122] Noel Dickson (Melbourne Herald),[123] "Service" (Western Mail)[124] and Sport magazine (Zurich).[125]

Rivalry with Vines and turning professional (1932-33)

During 1932 Cochet restricted his schedule to appearances at

U.S. National Championships and the Davis Cup and a minor tournament in Paris.[126] In Monaco the Butler Trophy were won by Cochet and Jacques Brugnon over the Czechoslovakian duo of Roderich Menzel and Ferenc Marsalek.[126] The mixed doubles was granted to Cochet and Colette Rosambert following the retirement of Béla von Kehrling and Elizabeth Ryan prior to the match due to the leg pain of Ryan.[126] After that good start Cochet was ranked number one by Pierre Gillou right ahead of Ellsworth Vines and Bunny Austin.[126]

In early June he won his fifth and last French Championships, beating Giorgio de Stefani in the final in four sets.[127] Cochet also won his third doubles French Championships, this time with Jacques Brugnon.[12] In the mixed event he reached the last four partnering Eileen Whittingstall and came up short against Fred Perry and Betty Nuthall.[128] His combined record-breaking ten French titles of the 17 title matches are the most possessed by a male player.[12]

A couple of weeks later in late June in the

U.S. National Championships final in September.[133] Vines kept the national title home with his second win, a straight sets 6–4 victory over Cochet.[133] Vines and Keith Gledhill subsequently beat Cochet and Marcel Bernard in the doubles final.[134] Cochet and Virginia Rice were dropped out in the mixed semi-final while Vines reached the finals.[134][135] These losses sealed the fate of the year-end rankings.[136]

In November Cochet only competed in the Toussaint tournament, held at the Tennis Club de Paris, alongside Colette Rosambert with whom he lost to Jean Borotra and his more skilled female partner

Helen Wills Moody.[137] The year 1932 marked the first time Cochet slipped off the top of the charts after switching places with Vines.[138] In June 1933 Cochet, seeded first, relinquished his French Championships title to Australian Jack Crawford, who overwhelmed him in the final in three straight sets, becoming the first non-French player to possess it.[139] In July the French team lost the Davis Cup for the first time since 1927. In front of their home crowd on the clay courts of Roland Garros, but without Lacoste and Borotra, the French team lost 3–2 to Great Britain. Cochet was defeated by Fred Perry and won against Bunny Austin, both in five sets.[140] At the 1933 Wimbledon Championships first-seeded Vines conquered Cochet, who was seeded third, in straight sets in the semi-final. It was the third time in a row that Vines beat Cochet.[141] These events marked the end of the Four Musketeers era.[142]

Professional career (1933–1939)

Cochet in the early 1930s
1933

On 9 September 1933 Cochet turned professional, signing a contract with the Tilden Tennis Tour for a guaranteed annual payment of £25,000 and he joined the team of Bill Tilden and Martin Plaa.[143][144][145] Although he was still featured on the amateur world rankings published on the 20th of the month, where he was listed one spot behind Ellsworth Vines at number six,[146] Cochet was also on Pierre Gillou's list in fourth place, also right after Vines.[147] Cochet made his professional debut in a Franco-American match on 22 September and defeated Bruce Barnes.[148] Three days later he lost to Tilden in straight sets.[149] He also made appearances at the French Riviera with Plaa with back and forth matches across France.[2] On 10 October Tilden signed Vines to the pro tour and from then Cochet's archrival and him competed within the same league again.[2]

1934

In early 1934 Cochet went on to showcase in Santiago and Vina del Mar, where he was challenged by the Pilo Facondi and Perico Facondi brothers, Chile's leading professionals, who both lost two matches each against Cochet.[150][151][152][153] Plaa and Cochet returned in February to the Madison Square Garden where Vines and Tilden were already practising and waiting for them.[154] In New York, Vines and Tilden outclassed Cochet in a four and five-set match respectively and the Americans were victorious in the doubles over the French pair as well.[154] During the ten-city tour across the United States and Canada, the Tilden-Cochet match was always the main fixture. Tilden finished the tour as winner by an eight to two head-to-head margin against Cochet.[154] In April in Providence Cochet was drawn to play Vincent Richards in singles and with Plaa played Barnes and Richards, both matches resulted in a French two straight sets victory. Cochet and Richards toured North America in April and May.

The first official tournament of a new tournament circuit was held in May at the Park Avenue Tennis Club, New York and was called the Eastern Pro Championships. Cochet finished in fourth place in the concluding round-robin.

Marseilles team event was scheduled in September where Cochet lost to Tilden, equalized against Gledhill and lost again in the doubles with Plaa to the Americans, who took the final victory as well.[154] Two weeks later in a single-elimination tournament at Cochet's native Lyon Football Club he almost delighted the crowd with home victory but Tilden stole the second and third set to spoil the feat.[154] Cochet subsequently suffered from an illness and missed the following events.[154] Throughout the season Cochet earned a total of $17.381.[156]

1935

Cochet spent most of 1935 with a promotional tour across the globe, sponsored by the French government, which included

Fédération Française de Tennis (FFT), Cochet was ranked 10th.[162]

1936

In 1936 Cochet had a second chance to regain his spotlight when he was first seeded

Leningrad, and Kyiv.[163]

1937

In June 1937 he did not succeed in defending his French Pro title as Hans Nüsslein took it from him in three sets.[164] The doubles final was played between Stoefen–Tilden and Cochet-Ramillon with the former team crowned champions in the end.[164] Cochet then repeated the Soviet tour and missed the German Pro and the Bonnardel Cup.[164] He returned to the tour at the end of September at the Wembley Pro where he won one match and was then knocked out at the semifinal stage by Tilden.[164] Cochet then was a part of a rather fruitless Italian tour, his only notably victory came in the Foro Italico against Tilden.[164] In late November and early December 1937, Tilden and Cochet toured Egypt.

1938

1938 was spent mostly with Cochet-Tilden headlined trips to Asia and Ireland.[165] Cochet also returned to the Soviet Union for the third straight time to accept a coaching venture, which turned out to be a short-term assignment as the Soviet government accused him of espionage and expelled him.[166]

1939

In the last pre-World War II year Cochet's pro status allowed him to accept the request of the Hungarian Davis Cup team to become its trainer.[167] He was then invited to the World Pro Championships, which was held at the Roland Garros in June–July.[168] Cochet and Tilden were on the same half of the draw and it set up a quarter-final clash[168] which Cochet was forced out of the tournament in five sets.[168] He and Ramillon had a shot at the doubles title but they came short against pro newcomer Don Budge and veteran Ellsworth Vines.[168]

During Second World War (1939–1945)

In 1940

Vichy regime which opposed professionalism.[173] The policy was administered by Borotra who had been appointed General Commissioner for Education and Sports in August 1940.[174]

In 1942 a Closed French Championships was announced and the doubles was won by Cochet and Bernard Destremau.[170] In 1943 he reached the singles finals in the same nationals losing it to Yvon Petra.[170] He also participated in charity matches to raise funds for the prisoners of the Axis powers.[175] The next year Cochet met Petra for the title and lost for the second consecutive time.[170] In the last wartime championships of France he won the doubles title alongside Pierre Pellizza.[176] Despite being a reinstated amateur he was still ranked 9th in the first official pro rankings published by the World's Professional Tennis Association in 1945.[177] After the End of World War II in Europe he played his first international match in Paris against Bill Sidwell, which he easily won.[178]

Last amateur years (1945–1958)

Post-war tennis life resumed at the 1945–46 International Christmas Tournament of Barcelona where Yvon Petra dismissed Cochet in four sets.[179] They reunited for the doubles event, which went to the home favorite duo of Jaime Bartrolí and Pedro Masip.[179] At the time Cochet was the coach of Petra.[180] In January the following year he reached the doubles final of the Estoril International Tournament partnering Robert Abdesselam.[181] They met in singles competition in March at the Egypt International Championships where Cochet outplayed Abdesselam in straight sets.[182] In July he celebrated his first Dutch championships title at Noordwijk with an overwhelming victory over Eustace Fannin.[183] In 1948 a rivalry emerged between him and Spaniard Masip. They met in the French Covered Court Championship final where it took five sets to decide the outcome in favor of Masip.[184] Also in Paris in April Cochet failed to capture the International Championships title dropping it to Marcel Bernard.[185] In the 1948–49 International Christmas Tournament of Barcelona Cochet met Masip in the doubles final, where the Spanish team of Masip-Carles granted a walkover to Cochet and Australian Jack Harper.[186] In April 1949 Cochet knocked out Masip from the Paris International Tournament in the quarterfinals.[187] They joined forces for the doubles contest, which they subsequently won.[187] In May he faced Masip again in the championships match of the British Hard Court Championships, and lost to him in four sets.[188] In August he was a singles and doubles finalist in the International Championships of Istanbul. In singles he was overcome by Gottfried von Cramm and in doubles by von Cramm and Harper.[189][190] In December he finally acquired the Barcelona title by beating Harper in five sets.[191]

Cochet played one of his last matches at the Swiss covered courts championships in St. Moritz, returning to the scene of his very first tennis triumph after a 36-year hiatus.[192] At the age of 56 with his partner Bernard Destremau he managed to pass the first round of the doubles contest with a 6–2, 6–1 win over locals D. Wegs and H. Flury.[192] Cochet retired from tennis later that year.[193]

Personal life

Cochet married Germaine Desthieux on 16 April 1926.

brother-in-law Georges Desthieux who won the New Malden tournament that year.[106][196][197] He was awarded the Red Ribbon of the Legion of Honour for his sport merits in 1951.[198] He died on 1 April 1987, aged 85, in Saint-Germain-en-Laye.[199]
