Career
Born in Béziers, Barthès was one of the Handsome Eight, a group of players signed by Lamar Hunt in 1968 for the newly formed professional World Championship Tennis (WCT) group.[4] In 1974, he reached a career-high ATP singles ranking of world No. 54, though this is not a true indication, as he was one of the top 20 players in 1971 before the creation of the ATP ranking system, making the year-end Masters the same year. He was also a US Open doubles champion in 1970, partnering Nikola Pilić.

gollark: I prefer using Linuxen, which on the one hand tend to suffer this less but on the other often get less support.
gollark: It's kind of annoying that companies end up making this sort of thing necessary...
gollark: Can you not just buy generic empty rackmount chassies?
gollark: Ah.
