According to that calendar, the tennis competition began on 27 March and closed on 30 March . 13 competitors from 6 nations, including 7 Greeks , took part in the tennis competition. Many of the doubles teams were of mixed nationality, including all three medalist pairs. MEDAL SUMMARY These medals are retroactively assigned by the International Olympic Committee ; at the time, winners were given a silver medal and subsequent places received no award. The doubles team of Kasdaglis and Petrokokkinos appears in the IOC results database as a mixed team. Kasdaglis is listed as Greek in the database for the singles event. Petrokokkinos, not having won a singles medal, is not identified with any nation in the IOC database; however, all sources which do give a nationality for Petrokokkinos give it as Greek. Kasdaglis, a Greek national residing in Alexandria, is listed as Egyptian in some sources. MEDAL TABLE France had a tennis player compete but he won no medals.
