Frenchman Max Decugis won the gold medal[1] by defeating his compatriot Maurice Germot in four sets.
The silver and bronze medals were awarded on the basis of the best performances against the winner or runner-up instead of the usual losing finalist or winner of a play-off between the losing semi-finalists. Therefore the bronze medal was awarded to Zdeněk Žemla who had taken a set off the silver medalist Maurice Germot in the second round.[2]

gollark: I refuse to lose my complex-number part.
gollark: Lua does it nicely, although I think it's just `longjmp` internally.
gollark: I don't care *that* much about mildly worse performance in case of errors, and you can put `try`/`catch`s close to errors as appropriate.

gollark: Yes, but it won't because there are consistent and good standards for it which cover the common usecases.
