Might be nothing but keep an eye open for this editor. Appears to have an agenda. Zerilous. Brand new editor with advanced wikipedia knowledge, but using it only on Rod Laver. Note - assured by administrator Doug Weller, that all is well here and that I jumped to a conclusion.
For your work and love to tennis. Lucio Garcia 19:59, 5 July 2011 (UTC)

There is no Italian tennis player at that time called "Ugo Chiesa". It is an obvious mistake. The tennis player was "Hugo Chiesa" (ARG), whose name was ofter misspelled "Ugo Chiesa". Please doublecheck (do some research), and you will discover that I am right.Gabriele Boccaccini (talk) 15:35, 10 August 2025 (UTC)
@Gabriele Boccaccini: I did. The ATP lists him as "Ugo" and Italian. The ATP also list Ugo as having played in 1929. So does the official French Open website. It appears your lone website is the one that is wrong. It was rare at the time to see Argentinian tennis players, let alone in Europe or the French Championships.

@Gabriele Boccaccini:, @Tennishistory1877: But I just found something very interesting. In a Swiss Tennis brochure here, he is listed as representing Switzerland in Davis Cup. They spell his name "Hugo Chiesa" in 1930. Chiesa is a common Northern Italian name at the time so Switzerland makes some sense rather than Argentina where that last name is rare even today. So now a tough call on Hugo/Ugo, but this player should be listed as Swiss. Fyunck(click) (talk) 19:06, 10 August 2025 (UTC)
