• Tennis, official organ of the German Tennis Federation , Volume 26, Issue 13 (July 1st 1973 issue)

Note: For some results there are slight deviations between the Hamburger Abendblatt and the magazine Tennis. If you compare the results with those on the ATP website, there are even more differences.

Remarks

1. ↑ Jan Kodeš canceled.
2. ↑ Nikola Pilić had been banned from his association for not taking part in a Davis Cup match.
3. ↑ Result according to the ATP website, which is perhaps a very good compromise between the Hamburger Abendblatt result 6: 1, 6: 1 and the magazine tennis result 6: 2, 6: 2.
4. ↑ The second and third movements according to Hamburger Abendblatt 6: 3, 6: 4; according to "Tennis" 6: 4, 6: 2; according to the ATP website 6: 4, 6: 4.
5. ↑ The second and third movements according to Hamburger Abendblatt 3: 6, 6: 3; according to "Tennis" 1: 6, 6: 2; according to the ATP website 3: 6, 6: 2.
