Connors and Goolagong

World no. 2 Jimmy Connors and Evonne Goolagong were banned from playing in the 1974 French Open by Philippe Chatrier, president of the French Tennis Federation (FTF), because both had signed contracts to play in the World Team Tennis league in the United States.[a][6] The schedule of the inaugural edition of the World Team Tennis conflicted with the dates of several European spring tournaments including the Italian and French Open. Both players had won the singles title at the 1974 Australian Open and were thus denied the opportunity to play for the Grand Slam that year.[b] Connors and Goolagong filed a suit at a French court seeking the right to participate but this was rejected on the grounds that there was no need for emergency action.[7] In September 1974 they sued the FTF seeking $200,000 in damages each as compensation for the ban.[8][9] This wouldn't be until the 2017 French Open that both of the defending champions of that year's Australian Open also absent from the competition.
