Henri Cochet
Henri Jean Cochet (; 14 December 1901 – 1 April 1987) was a French tennis player. He was a world No. 1 ranked player, and a member of the famous "Four Musketeers" from France who dominated tennis in the late 1920s and early 1930s.
Born in Villeurbanne, Rhône, Cochet won ten amateur Majors (Four French Championships, two Wimbledons, one US Championship, one World Hard Court Championship and two World Covered Court Championships) and one professional Major (French Pro) during his singles career (achieving victory on three different surfaces). He was ranked World No. 1 player for four consecutive years, 1928〔 through 1931 by A. Wallis Myers.〔〔 He turned professional in 1933 but, after a less than stellar pro career, he was reinstated as an amateur in 1946.〔
The Four Musketeers were inducted simultaneously into the International Tennis Hall of Fame in Newport, Rhode Island in 1976. Cochet died at age 85 in Paris.
==Early life and family==
Henri Cochet was born on 14 December 1901 in Villeurbanne to Gustave Cochet and Antoinette Gailleton.〔 His father was a groundkeeper in a Lyonnese tennis club where Henri worked as a ball boy and thus had a chance to practise for free.〔〔 He began playing at the age of eight along with his sister.〔〔 The president of the club, a silk-factory owner and French-ranked player Georges Cozon, recognized his talent and volunteered to coach him.〔 He entered his first local tournament in 1920 where he met his mentor in the final.〔〔 He then moved on to win a series of matches at Aix-les-Bains mostly scratch and handicap matches.〔 In 1921 he decided to compete in Paris, which was the center of tennis life and registered for the French Covered Courts tournament second-class draw there, in which he reached the final where he beat Jean Borotra in five sets.〔〔 That qualified him to be featured in the 1921 French Closed Championships where he repeated his victory over Borotra and subsequently broke into the top ten French rankings at the end of the year.〔〔 Also in 1921 he won the military Championship of France.〔 Meanwhile his sister Aimée (Charpenel) Cochet also became a tennis player and later was on the main draw of the 1930 Wimbledon Championships.〔
