Notes

  1. Between 1905 and 1914 Australia and New Zealand entered the Davis Cup competition as a combined Australasia team. Wilding would be the only New Zealander to play for the team while it existed.
  2. Between 1913 and 1923 Wimbledon was known as the World Grass Court Championships sanctioned by the ILTF
  3. Between 1913 and 1923 Wimbledon was known as the World Grass Court Championships sanctioned by the ILTF
  4. Tournament may have started on 30 September.[1]
  5. Von Wessely played under the pseudonym "Hartmann"
  6. It is not clear if it was a different tournament from the following one in the list
  7. The All England Plate was a tournament played by the losers of the first two rounds of the Wimbledon Men's Singles tournament (in 1907 Wilding lost in five sets in the 2nd round to the future winner Norman Brookes)
  8. The final was halted due to heavy rain. Allen retired the match in favour of Wilding. The Allen brothers had argued that Wilding should have been scratched from the tournament as he arrived three days late due to problems with his motorcycle.[73]
  9. Tournament played on a private court belonging to Dr. Luling at Château de Sapicourt near Reims. Wilding won against Germot and Froitzheim.[108][109][110]
  10. The "Illustriertes (Österreichisches) Sportblatt" has the score as 6–0, 6–4, 4–6, 1–6, 6–4.[117]
  11. Up until 1921, the winners of the previous year's competition (except in the Ladies Doubles and Mixed Doubles) were automatically granted byes into the final round (then known as the challenge round). This led to many winners retaining their titles for successive years, as they were able to rest while their opponent competed from the start of the competition. From 1922, the title holders played through from the start of the championships. In 1912 at Wimbledon he had offered to "play through" instead of standing out to meet the All Comers' winner, though his offer was not accepted.[126][127]
  12. Tournament not added to title count as it had only four participants (Wilding, Wallis Meyers, Salm, de Martino).
  13. "Hard Court" in the Commonwealth countries (UK, Australia, ...) and Europe at the time meant "Clay Court"
  14. After the initial two rounds the remaining semifinalists (Decugis, Doust, Rahe, Wilding) played each other in a round robin format. Wilding won all three of his matches and thus the Coupe de Deauville.[143]
