Jan Kodeš (born 1 March 1946) is a Czech former professionaltennis player. A three-timemajor singles champion, Kodeš was one of the premier players in the early 1970s.

Kodeš's greatest success was achieved on theclay courts of theFrench Open. He won the singles title in1970 French Open beatingŽeljko Franulović in straight sets in the final.^[1] He won the1971 French Open overIlie Năstase in the final in four sets, his "tireless running and gifted anticipation" proving too much for the Romanian.^[2] He also wonWimbledon ongrass courts in1973, beatingAlex Metreveli in the final in straight sets, although the tournament was largelyboycotted by top players that year in a show of solidarity over the ban ofNikola Pilić by theInternational Lawn Tennis Federation (ILTF).^[3]^[4]^[5]

Kodeš never played at theAustralian Open, but was twice the runner-up at theUS Open, in1971 toStan Smith and1973 toJohn Newcombe.^[6]^[5] Kodeš reached his highest ATP ranking of world No. 5 in September 1973.^[5] During theOpen Era, he won nine top-level singles titles and 17 doubles titles.

Kodeš was inducted into theInternational Tennis Hall of Fame in 1990. In 2013, he received the Czech Fair Play Award from the Czech Olympic Committee. He is an economics graduate of thePrague University.^[5]

Career statistics

[edit]

The table for open era finals below does not include victories and final participation in tournaments from 1966 to 1969, such as victories in international championships and tournaments in Santiago, Viña del Mar, Sao Paulo, Lyon, Cannes, Luxembourg, St. Petersburg (USA), Beirut, Zaragoza, Split, Varna, Plovdiv, Paris (Racing Club) and three times in the MM CSSR in Bratislava. In doubles with Javorsky in Bratislava, then with Jan Kukal, he won tournaments in Lyon, Hilversum, Macon (USA), Pittsburgh, Caracas, Istanbul, Bratislava, Beirut and Split. With Pala in Luxembourg and Zaragoza. With Rodriguez in Viña del Mar, Chile. In all these tournaments or championships, the starting field was always at least 32 players, like today's ATP tour tournaments, but they are not listed in the ATP Tour yearbooks because the ATP Tour did not exist at that time and did not publish publications.

In the book written by Petr Kolar and Jan Kodes, "A Journey to Glory from behind the Iron Curtain", there are 25 singles wins, 27 appearances in finals, 32 doubles wins and 29 appearances in doubles finals. He participated in the first Grand Prix "Masters" tournaments (now ATP Finals) from 1970-1974 (Tokyo 1970, Paris 1971, Barcelona 1972, Boston 1973 and Dallas 1974).
