The final mens winner was Argentina's José Luis Clerc who beat New Zealand player in the final Chris Lewis. The womens championship did not start until 1903 which was won by Argentine player Miss Chawner who defeated fellow Argentine player Winnifred M. Boadle.[9] The final womens champion was American player Caroline Stoll who beat Argentina's Emilse Raponi de Longo in the final. The tournament ceased to be an offical event of the then international tennis circuit, but it did continue for another twenty years until it was abolished in 1998.
