The 1885 men's tennis season was the tenth annual tennis tour, consisting of 119 tournaments it began at the beginning of the year on 1 January New York City, United States and ended 11 November in Singapore, British Malaya.
Summary of tour
In a repeat of the 1884 final, Herbert Lawford retained his Irish Lawn Tennis Championships title in Dublin, defeating Ernest Renshaw in five sets.[1] William Renshaw won a fifth consecutive Wimbledon Championship.[2] American player James Dwight broke British dominance at the Northern Championships in Manchester, defeating defending champion Donald Stewart in straight sets.[3] In the United States Richard Sears collected a fifth consecutive US National Championship, beating Godfrey Brinley in four sets. In Australia, the New South Wales Championships were held for the first time at the Association Cricket Ground at the Moore Park in Sydney.[4] In England, the British Covered Court Championships, one of the first tournaments in history to be played on indoor courts, is held in London.[5]
American player James Dwight was the title leader for the season, winning 6 titles from 8 finals. He was the first non-European player to do so since 1877.
Calendar
Notes 1: Challenge round: the final round of a tournament, in which the winner of a single-elimination phase faces the previous year's champion, who plays only that one match. The challenge round was used in the early history of tennis (from 1877 through 1921),[6] in some tournaments not all.
Notes 2:Tournaments in italics were events that were staged only once that season
