2004 China Open – Mixed Doubles

In order to commemorate the first joint edition since 1996, a mixed doubles tournament was held by combining female players of the WTA China Open and the male players of the ATP Beijing Challenger. The tournament had a prize money of USD $6,000, but as this was an exhibition tournament, no points were given for the ATP and WTA rankings.

Matches were played at best of three sets with a Match tie-break replacing the final set, in which a pair must win a 10-point tiebreaker (or by a two-point margin) to win the match. Match tie-breaks were not fully implemented until the 2006 season in official tournaments.[1]

Tripp Phillips and Emmanuelle Gagliardi won the title by defeating Justin Gimelstob and Jill Craybas 6–1, 6–2 in the final.

gollark: It wouldn't be very hard. I could probably write such a thing now.
gollark: Basically, you can set a setting to make it not boot from disks by default, then make a program which loads the code off the disk as if it is booting as normal but is really logging the code on the disk somewhere.
gollark: I could still get around that with 1337 h4xx.
gollark: I could probably get around that with enough work.
gollark: Either way, the real-world credit card system... honestly seems woefully insecure and the only reason it works most of the time is the law and people being somewhat trustworthy.
